So in this section, as we get into our Bible study tonight, we're, our Paul is trans, transitioning from a very heavy theological study on the deity of Christ, just to give you a little bit of context. He's talking about having the mind of Christ and how having the mind of Christ leads to living a life like Christ. And so practically now to step into this role as a follower of Jesus, now that you know what's expected of you, how you're to think and how that translates into actions, he is going to in essence say, you need to stand on your own two spiritual feet. And so this message that I've entitled, stand on your own two feet is going to be, I think, one of the most important messages I have ever given in my entire life. And I mean this very seriously because, you know, when I was growing up, I grew up at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa. Pastor Chuck Smith, whom you may have heard of or listened to or know of, was my pastor. Just this month we remembered, you know, the six years since he had passed away. I can't believe it's been that long already. October 3rd of this month, October, was six years. And I remember hearing Pastor Chuck say things like, you know, they're trying to tell me that I can't teach the Bible. You know, and if we do teach the Bible, then we're going to land up in prison.   You hear the kind of attacks that are coming against the church. I would encourage you highly to pray for your pastor and to do whatever you can to support him. And especially knowing that he is true to teaching you God's word, there may be a time that comes, God forbid, that Pastor David is in jail somewhere for teaching you the Bible. And I hope that you don't forget about him. And I hope that you send him every care package that he needs and that you really take care of him and that you even send him extra stuff because I'll need taking care of two and I'll be in there with him as well. Teaching the word of God is something that is under attack. And tonight's message, Paul in context, he is writing to a church, to a group of people that need to have their own relationship with the Lord. You'll get to the point in your own relationship with God where it becomes incumbent upon you to step up and to take the lead. And so point number one tonight is this, work out your relationship with God. Work out your relationship with God. Now, it may be great that the pastor of your church does what he's supposed to be doing. It's also great when the elders and the leadership in the church are doing what they're supposed to be doing as well. But what's even better than all of that is when the regular every day Christian is doing what they're supposed to be doing on top of all of that. See, every follower of Jesus needs to have their own personal relationship with Jesus.  We are Calvary Chapel Chino Valley. Of course, we know that you need to have your own relationship with Jesus. But I'm going to ask you, do you actually understand what I'm saying? Are you able to do what is necessary if all the people that you have looked up to as spiritual role models and examples, those that you have relied upon for spiritual instruction and encouragement go away? Are you able to do what you're supposed to do if they're no longer there?   Why Kiss Dating Goodbye?  And then recently he came out as, you know, now divorcing his wife and not following Jesus. And there was a big turning away, you know, at least online from what you've seen, how people's faith has been, you know, has been rocked and people walking away from the Lord, you know, prominent worship leaders saying, you know, I no longer believe in Jesus Christ as being God's son or that Christianity is what you need to, you know, to believe in in order to or to adhere to in order to go to heaven. And so all of a sudden people like, no way. And then they stumble and they fall. You know, what are we like? Are we the type of Christian that might be similar to the high school kid whose parents go out of town and the first weekend away, they're out of town, they throw the party, they're not supposed to be throwing. Hey, you know, Pastor David's not here or this leader's not there.  Maybe we're like the new college student that kind of floated through church and youth group and is no longer under the roof of his parents and walks away from the Lord. Could we be like the professionals that get sucked into doing the same kinds of things that are non-Christian co-workers are involved with because it's all part of our quote unquote corporate culture. And so I've watered down my relationship with the Lord. I can tell you tonight that honestly, God is not looking for people to go through the motions, but rather he is looking for people to have hearts that are loyal to him. And so sub point under point number one, working out your own relationship with the Lord, letter A is this, you cannot have a relationship with God vicariously through your church leaders. Let me say that one more time. You cannot have a relationship with God vicariously through your church leaders. See, there are Christians today in church that are so dependent on their spiritual role models that they forget that they're responsible for themselves. And when somebody is not taking ownership for their own relationship with the Lord, it's very common for them to become disillusioned. When that person of influence may show that they're not perfect or they have a sinful nature like everybody else. And that's why you will see people that walk away from the Lord and from the church because they saw somebody that was considered a leader and they were not as impervious to sin as they had previously believed them to be. And so someone makes a mistake. It doesn't even have to be a major falling, but it's something that causes our flesh to say, aha, I knew it. I knew it. Just another person that doesn't practice what they preach. Our flesh cries out that there's no one that I can trust. The church is full of hypocrites and there's no way that I can even look at them again. Listen, what you're really saying was actually recorded way before you were even alive in Romans 310 where it says, there is none righteous, no, not one, no, not one. And because somebody makes a mistake, that doesn't mean that you're excused to make your own. Like, hey, they did this, so I'm out. Forget it. So I'm going to go off and live whatever way that I would like to because they blew it or they no longer are following Jesus or they're no longer pastoring or they're no longer leading. So I'm out as well. Because if you were to do that, all you are really showing is a lack of a personal relationship with the Lord. And so I have to ask you this rhetorically is that is this is your relationship with Jesus contingent upon someone or something other than Jesus? You have to ask yourself that honestly, because what's happening throughout the church in the world is there is a great falling away. There is a great falling away. And see the time is now for Christians to stand on their own two spiritual feet, their own two feet, meaning that it doesn't matter what they decide to do, you have decided to follow Jesus. Back in Philippians chapter one in verse 27, it says this, and I'll read it to you from the new living translation, though we'll be studying through the new King James tonight from the NLT. It says above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the good news about Christ. And then Paul writes, then whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you're standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the good news. In the new King James version, it says, let your conduct, let your conduct. Really, it just talks about behave as a citizen, recognize the laws. You might think, well, behave as a citizen of what country and recognize the laws of, you know, of what authority. Listen to what Ephesians 2 19 says, it says, now therefore, as the church, as a Christian, as a follower of Jesus, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. That's you. Through faith in Jesus, you're no longer alienated from the people of God. You're no longer estranged from the rights that a citizen of the kingdom of God is granted through faith in Jesus. That's you. And because you're no longer apart from Christ, you are no longer excluded from the blessings of God's promises to his people. You're no longer strangers to the people of God because you're now family. You're one in Christ. So all of these benefits that come through a personal relationship with Jesus, how many of those things that I just mentioned are connected to someone else's relationship with the Lord? Let me just give you the answer.  None, none of those things that apply to you because of your faith have to do with anyone else, anyone else.  Show the world around you what it's like to be a citizen of the kingdom of God by obeying his commandments. I guess we could just summarize it as this. Let your conduct fit your faith. Let your conduct fit your faith. Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Jesus. When you're by yourself, let your conduct be worthy of the gospel. When you're around your non-Christian co-workers, friends and family, let your conduct fit your faith outside of Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. Outside your Christian mingle circle, outside the gaze of your pastor. Oh, he's watching.  Jesus is always watching and he sees all things. And so in verse 12 of Philippians 2, Paul writes and says, Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. You know, backstage, we're discussing families and talking about raising children. And Paul here is the spiritual father for these Christians in the city of Philippi. He left those kids, those spiritual children, defend for themselves. And he loves them and he cares about them. And like any good father, he desires his children to be able to succeed in life, but not just life in general. Most importantly, spiritual life. And Paul is he's writing. He's not condescending, but rather he's humble in his treatment of those that he was entrusted with spiritual care for. And it's a, it's a beautiful picture of a dad that loves his kids. Those that are in his church, he looks at as his sons and daughters, his spiritual children, and he's not power tripping. He's not condescending. I remember years ago, I used to live on the island of Maui, you know, when I was suffering for the Lord in the old days.  And, you know, I never dressed like that, except when I worked there and they gave us a clothing allowance and said, Hey, you need to wear the product you're going to be selling. And I remember one evening in particular, this this couple came in, the very unique couple, because this girl was probably, let's see, how old was I? I was about 24, 23, yeah, I was about 23. And I'm working here, working at the retail store on this particular evening. This girl comes in, she's about my age, and she was with her husband that was about 65, and she comes walking in and they're looking at the sandals and the shoes and the clothes. And I'm standing maybe about two feet from her, just, you know, waiting to see if they needed any help.  And so I remember her very distinctly looking over at me and then looking at, you know, her guy that either she was married to or dating at the time, and she picks up the shoe and says, well, if you like this and then motions to me and says, why don't you have the boy go get it for you? And your response was exactly my response. And I was like, the boy go get it for you. And so I quickly did as any good sales associate went and got one of my co-workers and said, she needs help over there. And I couldn't believe it.  And I will never forget that. I'm like, the boy, go get your sandal. Are you kidding me? What Paul is getting at here and what he's writing, you got to understand, though he had the spiritual authority, he was addressing them as his children, as somebody that he cared for. You know, often in the world, you'll think of, hey, if you're the boss, you communicate in such a way that you let them know you're the boss. But when it comes to church life and especially with Paul, it's important for us to understand how he's addressing his spiritual kids. What he's getting at here, he's connecting the mind of Christ. Remember, we talked about this to the action of Christ, which namely comes through obedience, obedience to the Lord. And that personal commitment to obey the Lord must be adhered to in Paul's presence. Like, hey, while I'm there, it's great that you're obeying, but even more so obey the Lord when I'm not there. When I'm not checking in, when I'm no longer holding your hand through the spiritual truths of the scripture, please, would you be able to stand on your own two spiritual feet? And this is where we're at today. It cannot be that we as the church want to live our lives in such a way that is obedient to the Lord because our Christian friends are watching.  And it's so annoying, like, oh, man, like, if I don't show up to church, I'll never hear the end of it from mom.  See, when we're with our non-Christian friends, we may live completely different than we do around our Christian friends and family. I mean, and now it seems with social media, there's always someone watching, always somebody trolling an account. Not too much is done in secret today.  And I don't know how that works out, but they figure it out.  I think they attend my church.  And it pops up in your news feed. I mean, I know some of you might be putting your settings to private right now as we speak for random reasons. But it's amazing how everything's open. Somebody always sees, somebody always finds out. And you might try to hide it and you might try to be, you know, duplicitous and that with my church group of people, I know how to dot my eyes, cross my T's. And then when I'm with my non-church people, then I just cut it up and we do whatever that we, what we want or whatever it might be. Listen, you can't live that life for too long.  You said your mugs on one side of the fence and your wumps on the other side of the fence, and it's not a pleasant place to be. Can't have one foot in and one foot out. So church. And let's just take it as specific as we can get it. You cannot have a relationship with Jesus vicariously through pastor David Rosales or any of the other amazing pastors and leaders that are on staff or volunteer at this church. Letter B is this, you cannot have a relationship with God that changes with your company. Now, I remember years ago, there was this young pastor that was single and he was looking to get married. And maybe you're here tonight and you're single and you're looking to get married one day and you can relate to this. But this guy, he had a terrible time trying to find a girl because as a pastor, you know, there's just a whole bunch of different things that you have to deal with. And there's a lot of pressure and there's a lot of people watching and there's a lot of, you know, responsibility and to try to find somebody that could share that and understand it and get it was very, very difficult for him to find somebody that could. And the story goes on that there is these girls that would pretend to walk with the Lord. They would show up to the Bible studies because they were hoping, you know, maybe they could be in a relationship with this guy. You know, one in particular, you know, called him in the middle of the night as she was drunk and dancing on a table. And it was amazing how her relationship with God would change with the company she was keeping. You know, and I can't tell you the joy that that young pastor felt when he met a girl who didn't need his relationship with the Lord for her to have her own relationship with the Lord all on her own. And I can tell you that I've been blessed by my wife's walk with the Lord since I was that young pastor and met my wife. And as I head into my seasoned or more seasoned years of ministry, what a blessing it is to know that my wife Ruth stands on her own two spiritual feet and she didn't need me to have her own relationship with God. So when he writes in his presence and in his absence, he's speaking of godly character, this moral and ethical and spiritual quality. If your lifestyle, if your lifestyle is different when you're around Christians from what it is like when you're around non-Christians, that's not good. It means that you're fearful of what other people may think. Fearful, you have the fear of man. And now this goes both ways for often, you know, you'll think of the negative, which is I'm afraid of what, you know, my non-Christian friends will think of me if they know that I go to church or that I follow Jesus or I don't wanna have sex until I'm married or I don't drink and party anymore and I'm worried that they're gonna make fun of me that'll exclude me. My coworkers are all into this, I'm not, I'm afraid of what they might think. And so I act differently around them. It also means that I'm afraid of what my Christian friends may think of me when I'm living the sinful life that I want to live. It's interesting, huh? Because some will continue in sin and they will lie and deceive and seek to hide that truth from their Christian friends and family. See what happens is that they're both rooted in fear and both are disingenuous. I would just tell you, if you wanna live in sin, knowing full well that it's sin and it's wrong, then why don't you just own it and take responsibility for your actions instead of hiding it and pretending like you're not doing it? God sees it already. But even better yet, might I advise that if you wanna live for the Lord, then own that and let the Lord honor you for honoring him. But the duplicitous lifestyle has to end. You can't just do what's right when mom and dad are watching. You can't just do what's right when your big sister and big brother in the Lord are checking in on you. It's imperative for each of us, and I believe this even more so than ever before in our nation's history, for us to stand on our own two feet spiritually. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, don't get too crazy tonight, you might have to float me over there. Not as in my presence only, he says in verse 12, but now much more in my absence. And then he says this, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Now what is Paul saying here when he says, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling? Well, if you're taking notes or if you just wanna make a mental note on this, the first thing to note is to whom he is speaking. So who is Paul writing to? Paul is writing to Christians in the Philippian church. That is his audience. He is not speaking or writing to non-Christians seeking to earn their way to heaven. Because there are some people, this is important to understand because there are some people that have misinterpreted this passage of scripture to mean that you need to work for your salvation. If Paul were speaking to non-Christians, that would be a very contradictory statement to what the rest of the Bible teaches. He'd be speaking to people without salvation. So if he was not writing to Christians, he'd be speaking to people that were without faith in Jesus, that were without salvation and telling them to work for their salvation. Work for it. Do you realize that every other religion, world religion, every other religion in this world is what is called a works-based religion where you have to earn your way. You have to work for it. You have to work for it. That's why it's called a works-based religion in that you work to obtain salvation. Be a good person. Go on a mission strip. Eat certain foods. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be good enough to go to heaven. Now in college I played basketball. One of the guys on my team was a practicing Muslim and we were just talking over a pre-gain meal one evening and I just said, already tell me about your religion and what you believe. And so he shared with me some of the tenets of what he believed and I asked him, you know, which was kind of like this, catch all, like how do you get to heaven? How do you get to heaven? And he said, well, you have to be a good Muslim and you have to do these certain things and adhere to these certain commandments and this and the other thing. And I said, well, Artie, when do you find out if you're good enough to get to heaven? And he stopped for a second and he said, well, I won't find out if I was good enough to get to heaven until after I'm dead. And I said, well, Artie, I was like, isn't that a little too late to find out if you were good enough to get to heaven? You won't know until you're dead. That's what every other religion tells you. You earn your way, hopefully you'll be good enough, but you know what the sad untold truth is? You're not good enough and you never will be and it's a lie from Satan for people to think that they can earn their salvation or to be good enough.   And so it's like if you would take two columns here and you have your righteousness and then you have God's righteousness, they don't transfer. You know, there's no exchange rate for your good deeds and God's holiness. There's nothing that you can do. That's like saying, hey, I scored 23 points in this basketball game. How many home runs does that equal to? You're like, what? Sorry, we don't have, there are two different sports. You can't, well, hey, you know, I scored two goals. How many touchdowns does that equal to? Sorry, that's a different sport. You don't get a crossover. The only thing that brings you into God's righteousness is faith in Jesus, which is the bridge from your sinful humanity into the righteousness of God. In Ephesians two, verses eight through nine, it says, for by grace you've been saved through faith. And that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God and not of works lest anyone should boast. No one but Jesus offers assurance of salvation before you're dead. So you know, it's not about my good works. It's not about what I've done. It's about what Jesus already did. And so, if my righteousness is described in Isaiah 64 as dirty rags, what is Paul saying, work out your own salvation? Paul does not write that we should work for, but that we should work out. You need to go work out. Has anybody ever told you that? Hey man, you just need to go work out.   I'm gonna go work out. I'm gonna go train. You need to go work out. You need to exercise. Now, this phrase, work out. I love, you know, studying the origin stories of certain phrases, right? It's called etymology. This phrase work out comes from boxing culture. Late 1800s, early 1900s that it had the meaning of working through putting out action. Working through putting out action. Work out. You're working through putting out action. So you put in the effort of living your life as if you are saved from your sin. And we must understand very clearly, doctrinally, that the one who is doing the work of saving is not us. It is God. So listen to this. We must work out what God has worked in. God does the work of saving. Salvation belongs to the Lord. And through faith in Jesus, we have salvation planted in us. Now we must work through putting out effort. And this fear of trembling, the fear and trembling speaks to really, I would say on a personal note, our concern for the completion of the working out of our salvation that we're not squandering what God has given us, that we're not wasting it, that we're not compromising. This means that what God has begun in our lives, we don't wanna do anything that would hinder that work. Furthermore, we don't wanna waste our life living after the lust of the flesh. But rather, we wanna give ourselves completely over to the fulfilling of God's work taking place through us.  We already know by grace we've been saved through faith. But rather, this is the exercising of our faith through the way we live our life in obedience to the Lord, and that goes all the way back to verse 12. Where Paul writes, not just as in my presence, but in my absence, work out your own salvation. So you work out your relationship with God, and point number two is this, is this will be only our second and final point tonight, is God will work in his relationship with you. So you work it out, he will work it in.  We've sang that song for years, no guilt in life, no fear in death. We don't have guilt because God has forgiven us, he's cleansed us. The conviction of the Holy Spirit has brought us to that place of confession and receiving that forgiveness and healing from the Lord. That's the power of Christ working in us. Now listen, we would all be without hope if it was left to us to work into our lives, that which only can come from God. Whether that be salvation or the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the loss of the flesh, we need to realize that comes from the Lord. Now tonight, do you realize that God is working in your life? Some of you be like, uh-uh, no way, not me. Some of you may be here, not under your own free will. You might have been coerced or blackmailed, I don't know why, you're here. And you're like, uh-uh, no listen, God's working in your life. He's working in each of you. He works in your will, which is your desires, and then he works in your actions. He changes our lives so that we're like Jesus and that we're more concerned with fulfilling the will of our Father than fulfilling our own selfish wants and desires. Now, some of us, some of us here tonight, and if you just, you know, play percentages, some of us here tonight, chances are, are very strong willed. Now growing up, you may have been categorized as a strong willed child.  Well listen, those strong willed children, they can be quite the handful when you're trying to raise them to the Lord. And it seems that with each passing day, they're actually just getting closer to meeting Him. It's true. I mean, those strong willed children, they make great leaders though, but they first need to come under the leadership of their parents. Now, I am the oldest of four, and as I mentioned about the Bealer boys right and again, my two younger brothers, all are married and have children. I have a little baby sister who's not a baby anymore and she'd be very mad. I use that word to describe her, but she'll always be my baby sister who's not married yet. But all three of us brothers, we have kids, three kids. And we all had a boy, then a girl, then a boy. And so each of our oldest sons are very strong willed boys. They are the alpha males in their family. And then the, how would I say this? I don't know if it's funny or what, maybe that's a little cruel to say, but when you get all three of them together and they're all used to being the boss, it is quite the handful in our home at Family Gatherings when you have three of the oldest boys get together and like, no, that's what you're doing. No, you do that. No, that's your thing. No, I'm not doing that. I'm the boss, you listen to me, you do it. And we'll laugh before we break it up before things start blowing up in our home, but it's quite the time when we get all three of them together with their brothers and sisters as well. But see God has great plans for his children, the compliant and the strong will to like. But like any of our children, we know that they're not always going to like what we ask them to do. Quite frankly, they may really dislike it and be quite vocal about it. We were laughing backstage about having kids, you know, say, dad, you have no idea what in the world you're talking about. I remember being, you know, right before my buddy and I were going to have our first kids, they're like, we're like in our early or mid 20s. And we said, do you realize that one day, our kids are going to become a certain age where they're going to say, dad, you have no idea what you're talking about. And it's like, we've lived life, we've been around and one day that's going to happen. But so it can be very challenging when you have children that don't want to do what they're supposed to be doing and they're going on and on and on and on and on about why they don't like it. But see, for those of you that are parents, you would agree with me and that we want our children to do what's right, but even more importantly, we want them to want to do what's right, even when we're not pressuring them or telling them that they need to do so. Because that makes it a matter of their heart and character. That's when we can entrust our children with the responsibility to do what is right when they're not in our sight. And so we'll discipline them and we'll take things away from them and we'll make their life extremely difficult so that they might know, so that they might know that, let's just say crime doesn't pay in this household. So in Paul's absence, so picture it, he planted the church, he led people to the Lord, he taught them the truths of salvation. And now he's gone. But he's writing to them. And he's saying in my absence, so in Paul's absence, he's encouraging his spiritual kids to do everything without complaint and without fighting. Complaining, I don't know if you've realized this, makes everything better. No one said that. No one said that. And so it says in verse 14, do all things without complaining and disputing. In verse 15, that you may become blameless and harmless children of God, without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world. In order to understand this more fully, this phrase crooked and perverse generation is referring to the people of Israel when they were wandering in the wilderness. They're described as being, they're described as being those that have corrupted themselves. Those that complained, those that had a blemish, they were a perverse and crooked generation. And Paul's making a contrasting point here in that the fallar of Jesus should not behave the way that Israelites did in complaining and arguing with God. Now, how many of us have ever complained against the Lord for something that may have happened to us or what we've had to endure? You know, the griping, the complaining, those contentious people of Israel were referred to as a crooked and perverse generation. We as the church, I don't know if you've opened your eyes and seen what's happening in our world. We live in the middle of a perverse and crooked generation. The world is at enmity with God and is constantly complaining against him. The world's complaining against God. The world is angry at God. This is not the way that we're supposed to behave ourselves as Christians because what did he say? You are the shining light in the world. So you're the shining light in the world when you're at your hair salon. When you're waiting for your mobile order at Chick-fil-A and it's taking a little bit longer than it's supposed to. You're the shining light in the world when you're waiting behind the slowest person known to man waiting to get their Costco receipt highlighted. Just swipe the stick already, man, come on. When you're waiting for the Lord to answer your prayers for your son or daughter, you're a shining light in the world.   Because one of the ways as the church we let our lights shine is by not complaining and not being argumentative. Paul tells us that the path to even being blameless and harmless and without fault begins without complaining and without disputing. But not only that, it stokes the fire of the light of Christ shining in the middle of the perverse and crooked world.   Jesus said in Matthew 5, 14 and 16, he said to his disciples, he said, you are the light of the world. You are a city that is set on a hill that cannot be hidden. So let your lights so shine before men that they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.  If you've never noticed this before, I hope you can file this away that complaining leads to fighting. Complaining leads to hardening your heart toward the one you're complaining about. No, they did this and I can't stand that or why would God do this? How could he do? I thought he loved me or whatever it might be and see our flesh, our sinful nature wants to raise itself up against God, raise itself up against the Lord's will.  And I don't have to listen to anything that you are telling me any longer. I'll tell you, there is something about being broken before the Lord. David, King David was in sin, God was dealing with him and he wrote this, for day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. As the church, as a follower of Jesus, we can fight against the Lord. Or we can do as it's recorded of what we should do in 1 Peter 5-6, which says, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time. Some of you here tonight may have the heavy hand of the Lord upon you for one reason or another.  If you're in sin and need to be corrected, it is because he loves you that he will correct you. It's because you are a son or a daughter that you will be corrected. If the Lord is trying to shield you from something or have you to learn something, humble yourself under his mighty hand. And that same song that David said, my vitality was turned into the drought of summer, he said this, I acknowledged my sin to the Lord and my iniquity I did not hide. I said, I will confess my transgression to the Lord and he forgave the iniquity of my sin. Finally, in Philippians 2.16, Paul writes, holding fast the word of life so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. I've been blessed to know your pastor for a number of years. He has encouraged me as an assistant pastor, he has counseled me when I've dealt with things that were so far beyond my expertise, my experience, above my pay grade. You have a pastor that's poured his life into you. And you know, the person that attends church doesn't understand even a fraction of the kind of things that pastors deal with on a daily basis. You have a pastor who loves you. He's not perfect, nor would he ever say he is. But he loves the Lord, he loves his wife, he loves his children, and he loves you. It's very similar to what we're looking at when Paul's writing to this church, this group of people that he loves and he cares about greatly, he poured his life into that church. They were entrusted to him, their spiritual care. And if they were to walk away from their relationship with the Lord, it would be devastating to Paul. He knew the importance of the Philippian church maintaining their obedience to the Lord in his absence.  Know what you believe. Hold fast to the word of life. See, the Philippians needed to step up into the place that they were called to be so that they might lead others to the Lord. They would need to hold fast to the words of life. There was a time when even the followers of Jesus turned their back on him and walked away and Jesus looked at his disciples and you remember the story. Do you also wanna go away? And Simon Peter said, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. So the words of life are found in God's word. And there will be great rejoicing. There will be great rejoicing when Jesus comes for those that have kept the faith. I've been in ministry for 15 years and over the years I've seen dozens and dozens of people even get married, done weddings, you know, I've stopped counting there, just being able to be in those situations is such a blessing where you can pour into people, you can instruct them in the ways of the Lord, pray through their difficulties, walk them through their trials, but it's so sad when you see the words of life begin to slip through their grasp where they no longer own their own relationship with the Lord. They're no longer in the Word. They're no longer praying with each other. They're no longer going to church. They're no longer serving. They're no longer giving. They're no longer doing what they're supposed to be doing. And then they no longer wanna hear what you have to say regarding the spiritual state because they've decided to do things in the flesh. My heart breaks for people, they've got divorced, their children became collateral damage. The ministries that they were involved with went kaput all because they didn't hold fast to the words of life. It starts with complaining and then arguing and then dying. And so Paul tells them, God is working in his relationship with you. Even as I feel the Lord would wanna encourage you, God is working in his relationship with you. So work out your relationship with him by not complaining about his methods or arguing for Lordship of your own life. So all by yourself, you stand on your own two spiritual feet.  If we cannot maintain our relationship with the Lord unless there is someone else in that relationship, then we don't have the type of relationship with Jesus that we need to have. See the good news, God is working in you and you're willing in your actions. So don't complain and argue with him. We need to shine as a light in a perverse world and you'll work out your faith in the Lord by holding fast to the words of life, by living in obedience to him. And then you too, because I'm looking out here at this audience. I don't know many of you, some of you have had the privilege of meeting, but the Lord needs more people to lead. It might be great, oh, they're doing it. What happens when they're not there? It's you and you may run from it, you may say, oh, you got the wrong guy, you got the wrong guy, no way. We need more of the people that are sitting in the seats at church to step up and be ready to lead. And you too will be that leader that is strong, strong in the Lord and ready to do great things in his name. Let's pray. Father, we thank you, Lord.

Common Ground is brought to you by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, with money from the vote of the people November 4th, 2008. I'm Diana Johnson, and today I'm going to do something that I've been doing every day for a year, and that's a daily painting. I'm going to paint an apple. Painting a day is a concept, and it was started by an artist. His name is Dwayne Kaiser, and it was maybe in the 80s. He just was having a difficult time selling paintings. He took a bunch of his paintings that didn't sell and had a party with other artists' friends, and they sort of bought each other's art, and it tended to be smaller pieces of art. So he started then selling smaller pieces of art on eBay, and that's kind of where he started the whole painting a day. The movement has grown to multiple websites featuring just artists who paint daily, and it was something that I decided to challenge myself with. I have painted on and off forever, but I've never really consistently painted. So I decided if I went to college or school for art, one thing I would have to do is paint every day. So that's why I decided to paint daily and challenged myself to do so. I think painting every day is just like doing anything every day, practicing the piano or learning some new craft or art. You just get better. You get better and better and better. I think I was in awe. I would look at other daily painters and see Michael Naples as one that comes to mind. He started just doing pencil drawings, and after painting daily, it seemed like in three, four months, he was producing beautiful works of art, and I thought, gosh, if he can do it, maybe I could do it. But I really didn't think that it would be as profound for me as it was. I learned so much about painting.  I watched videos and took out books from the library and really educated myself because I would get stuck. You know, how do I mix colors? How do I figure out composition? And then when I started the daily painting, yeah, it was just like I think going to school. I learned a lot. Okay, so what I have done here before I started this was to paint it in gray tones using burnt umber, but just getting the values of the apple because then you can use the color. But if you don't get the values right, then you're just slugging along. So you want the darkest darks first. In other words, if you took a picture of this apple in black and white, then this is a value of that apple. It's just the white and the black in different degrees. So I've painted that first because if you can get that right, then the rest you're just kind of home free. And now I'm going to start applying the colors. And I've also done my colors in value lines, meaning I start with a dark and I keep adding white, which just makes painting go a lot faster because you're not mixing every single color that you see you need. You've got a line of values. They call them strings. So oftentimes painters paint the darkest darks first. You know, the one thing I know is that there's no rules. It feels, it felt like when I started that there were rules I didn't know. There was something I should be doing and I didn't know what it was and I would be making a mess of something, but that's not the case. There's no rules. I probably have watched a hundred, two hundred videos on painting and the one thing I know is that people do what works. And what works for one doesn't work for another and you just try, try until you find something that works. Some painters do the background first. Sometimes they do both. So here's an example of not having to go mix this color because I see it. That color is right there and it's right there. It makes it a lot easier. I never use black either. Well, okay, never, but I hardly ever use black. I tend to mix a black.  It's sort of a dead, lifeless color and so your eye stops there, which is not what you want when you're painting. You want the eye to travel.  I love painting apples. Get that dark. This is going to make this look like an apple, that little dark bit right there. Without that, it's not going to look as apple-like. Let's get some green with that. Shadows are another thing. It was something that I learned in this whole little journey was shadows. There's so much color in this shadow. You first look at it and you think it's a shadow so it's dark and it's one color. But there's this beautiful lavender in there and there's a beautiful green there. Very little black. That's kind of a dark ultramarine blue. Yeah, let's put that in there. I loved painting, well I still do, but pastel paints because you get to use your fingers a lot. And that's something I like to do. That beautiful purple. Now we're going to work on that background. Lost and found edges. Sounds like a book. If somebody was thinking about painting, I think my motherly advice would be to just do it and not be self-critical to the point that you keep yourself from doing it. You know, criticism is a good thing. It makes us better. But in art sometimes we feel that there's people who just have a natural ability versus somebody who just works really hard at it and makes it look like they have a natural ability. So just paint. That needs to be deader. So if a color is too bright and you want to bring it down a notch, then you want to add its complement, which would be green in this case. Because we're working with red. A little more green here. I think I kind of like that white streak there. I also blogged, did a blog about my painting a day. Because I guess I thought if I didn't, I would probably just at some point maybe become frustrated or feel like I was lacking feedback and maybe quit. So the blogging really helped in that regard. It wasn't until I put it on Facebook that really helped because then people made comments. You know, there's a lot of little steps in this whole process. From taking the picture, printing the picture, painting the picture, and then taking a photograph of the painting and posting it. And then I decided too, an additional challenge was that I would say something that I either liked about the painting or didn't like about the painting or wished I had done differently. So that I would, in my mind, I would be growing or learning as I was painting. So there were a lot of little steps and doing the blog was very helpful because it held me accountable. But putting it on Facebook made all the difference in the world. Because I had people who said every day when I would post something, you know, I like this or it reminds me of something or I like the subject matter. And it just kept me going. It just, I didn't want to let anybody down and not post. So, you know, after eight months, there were times when it was difficult. I just kept going. I got on a step back again. What I wanted ultimately was to have a show, a body of work. I guess because to me that meant I had accomplished something. I had more than just the occasional painting that I had had up until that point. At least I had enough so people could like one of them maybe or dislike some and still like another one. Okay. I think that's it. I like it. People say you paint for yourself but really you don't. I think if you painted for yourself you would never show anyone. You would never hang them up. You would never have an exhibit. You would never, you wouldn't care if anybody saw them. We paint from ourselves. We paint from within ourselves but we don't paint for ourselves.


Hi, I'm Stu Miniman and this is a special On the Ground here at the V-Tug Summer Slam 2019. It's the 16th year of the event and unfortunately it's actually the final event. I've been to a few of these in Maine, I've been to many more of them at the Winter Warmer at Gillette Stadium and welcoming back to the program someone that's been to many more of these than I have, Chris Colotti, who's a principal technologist today at Cohesity but, you know, who's doing many other jobs and actually used to live here in New England, Southern New Hampshire. Chris, welcome back. Thank you, good to see you as always.  So this one, this one was interesting because even last night when I showed up for the night before, I think I knew everybody in the room. It was all hugs and, you know, it's just, it's all about the people. I mean, this is all the same people that we've had up here. But yeah, I grew up in Southern New Hampshire since moved to Tennessee five years ago, but I was actually at another event before this. And when we found out it was the last one, well, Cohesity has always sponsored it. But I actually decided to fly over here being the last one because no one the Harnies really well and see all you guys. It's just, it's kind of an odd thing to have the curtain go down. Yeah. And you talk about the people and communities. Chris, I think back to the earliest days that I came to this event. I'm like, there's that guy on stage. He's almost always wearing a Patriot jersey there. I did make that famous. Figuring out it was, I believe, P90X and some of the other things there. So, you know, what's the workout regimen today this morning? I actually jacked up my neck back into lifting heavy a little bit. But yeah, it was it was always great to be the guy who always came up on stage and always had a brusky jersey on or something. I remember the one year that they were somebody told me they were practicing that year and I was in the middle of the presentation. I was, you know, conflicted on what to do. But no, I think it's it's always been good to come back and talk not just about technology, but I've had so many conversations over the years about where my career is gone and the changes. And it was always that opportunity, you know, a couple of times a year to figure out what changed for everybody. And even now, I mean, there's guys that I've seen that have different shirts on that were, you know, I have one different from last year when I was at the winter warmer. So 16 years, it's safe to say almost everyone here has changed what logo they had here. Many of the companies we've lost a little more hair. We've got a little more gray. So a lot of changes. One thing I tell you, 16 years has been a good run for the Patriots the last 16 years. People don't like us when we talk about that for some reason. We're here in New England. That's true. That's true. At this event, Chris, we always like talking about sports. If they don't like this piece of it, that's all right. But, you know, I tell you, talking to the vendors here, they're always hiring like SES, technical people, you know, if they understand that latest in technology, usually they can they can find a job here. What else are you seeing? What are some of the, you know, kind of in-demand jobs? Of course, you know, the space that your company's playing in, you know, the data is at the center of so much of what we talk. Absolutely. Data protection, data management is a, you know, super hot space. Yep. I think I've definitely seen a lot of, you know, all the new companies are always hiring SES, right? They've got to get their sales up and running. For Cohesity, it's a bit similar. I mean, we took over another couple of floors in one of the other buildings in San Jose, which is great. The growth is unbelievable for people who don't know. You know, we've got a truck rolling around the country that John Hildebrand and I personally pretty much built over the course of a couple of months. But I think that speaks to it. It's it's there's all this stuff happening and everybody's trying to find a different way to get out in front of customers, right? Whether it's a salesperson, whether it's a marketing, whether it's creative videos or something else. And we're always trying to figure out what's what's the next not even technical ability, but what's just the next ability you you want to hire, right? Is it a coder? Is it I mean, we always have developers, right? We're always having developers. But around here, I've been out of the area so much. I'm really not sure like what the hotbed is right now around the Boston area and Southern New Hampshire.  Of course, clouds having an impact. Those people that hadn't been to like the seaport district. Oh, my gosh, it's great to see those buildings go up. Oh, yeah, not just, you know, Red Hat put in a big facility there, AWS in Amazon, of course, of a strong presence. But between Cambridge and Boston, there's so much growth here.  The only, and I've been talking about this memory and you may remember this one, and Ed Hartley would too, I think, Texi Will, when my challenger broke down. Were you here for that one when I pulled in the gritties? That was my worst memory of these, but it's the one that always comes up when I come back. And everybody saw it on the flatbed driving by, you know, Luigi and everybody. What made it interesting was a horrible situation for me because I drove up here, but it speaks to the community because everybody ran out to ask what happened, do you need to ride home, what's going on.   I'm happy for them though, I think, you know, a lot's happened in their lives in the last couple of years and to finally get down to Florida and spend more time down there, I'm happy for them. I think it's great. I think they've done, they've left a legacy really, I think, that I don't think anybody can match up here. The intersections of great information, great people and you throw in great new England lobster pests, you really can't go wrong with that. Chris, thank you so much for sharing the update. Always great to catch up on this. Yeah, great seeing you again, we'll see you tonight at the bake. All right, and we'll see Chris and many others at VMworld later this year as well as lots of other shows, be sure to check out thecube.net. I'm Stu Miniman and as always, thanks for watching.


This is not how I am going to play. I am going to play sports for a month. So what happened was, I tried to do good for yesterday. And yesterday in the morning, one of my clients said, can you come with me on Saturday to discuss how to play. I said, you know, on Saturday I was going to a conference, so you moved to Portugal. The woman was saying that she was going to play. I had to go to the conference on Saturday. But when I was on Saturday, it was supposed to be two days, right? And I think I was already in the office. So last Saturday, I was in the office and Taylor got back from there. So I missed him. And then I heard that I was going to another client in the office. I was running to the airport with my laptop back. And they, the airporters, were talking to me, talking to me, they said, and I said, everything. So that's how I got here. So that's how I got here. So this is what we are going to talk about today. The context here is a bit interesting to that, right? We did a stream today to tell us what exactly is context here. And how does it really help developers manage all of this in here. So we are going to talk about context here. How do we use context here? We are going to talk about the use that is actually important for us. Because we are going to be doing something good, right? We are just going to do it everywhere. We are just going to do it all the same way. So, let's say you are, the project is about a real-time website.  You say, I have to must get it. And then there is some more, like, about the right product. It's really, really, really great. So, let's say you are going to be a tagger. So the purpose of the record is just to show the number of products it's having. And it gives you a packet. And it gives you the reason that it should be related to the packet base. Now, this packet icon, right? So let's say, as, let's say, there is nothing about separation of contents. It's about separation of components. So whenever I create one component at a time, that component is only thinking about, okay, how can I do it myself? It doesn't need to tell you about how to get it done. You don't have to make the game or you don't have to get it from some database. You know, where do you go? It's like, where do you get the data from? The component says, I don't know. People always say, just give me this value that the proper is. And I display it. It is your concept. You know, it says, where do you use it? It's not an extension. So, you just take it out like, give me the property, as, like I said, the packet comes, you can give me the value. Then just show it to me right here. So, how do you actually do this? You can see it's a very simple application. Let's say, this is my application component. And this is the component hierarchy. This is the application component. That's the basket type. So, the giant is the application. It's kind of tapping on the basket type. And the application passes if the basket comes, very nicely to the game. So, the application sends out a human body about getting the value. I will make more data for that guy. I'll make a call to the rest of the guy. I'll get the value completely. So, what do you have to do with this? If you want to exchange a product, it is fine and it's available. But, when you think the basket comes, it's not available properly. So, this one comes pretty well. But, as I said, generally we do not have just the basket content as an application. We have an application page like this. We'll have a content area. We'll have a data like this. And then, the basket icon, the component is smooth and prominent and you have to use the basket icon. Okay, so now, what happens is, this is an application. This is the basket icon, and suddenly the data has popped up in here. The data says that there is a kind of an application. So, now this application is being passed on to the basket icon to the basket icon component. So, it can be smooth and prominent. So, this is because some other people were there. I will just pass on the end. But, it isn't always going in the reactor. It can be very smooth and prominent. So, the data can be used in this way. So, the application will have to take each child where it is, the brain number, take the basket icon, and it will be yours. You can do some of that. Someone will take a basket icon. I will just pass on the basket icon to my child. So, this is there. The header, this bucket is considered the basket icon. I think that the header just wants to show that I am a supermarket.com and all this look and stuff that looks like that are the requirements. But, it says I don't really care what is the basket icon. That is not my responsibility. But, you are still passing on to me. So, that I can pass it on further to the basket icon. And, this is something important from today. But, it will see then. And, the example that we just saw, this is actually a very good example. I have to pass on all of the classes properties on this way. Only so that your children are somewhere down on the energy of children and children. They will give you the reason to pass on the property. And, this is something which was there in the event that we had called because we had came up with it. It was more than you guys knew. It was supposed to be showed that you wouldn't rate that for them. They will do it the most confident way. But, they didn't really touch management as part of the work like they did. They never did whatever they did. There were applications to pass on data like that. How can we do it on this way? We will do it using Sextake in the vanilla react app. And, Sextake has this kind of property because in Sextake you can just pass on the property one by one in the label. So, let's say we have serial groups just in mango with the string. It is in a type 1 group like that. And, that should be updated over there in the past icon. So, it is not just that the data is going from communication has got to go from this component back to top and from there back to the last one. So, this thing is kind of as complicit in our applications. If you see what it now looks like because we have an application this is the existing header in the last icon. This is the new product page where I am showing the list of products. And, even if you can add a web in any one of these products it has to raise an event that will be work here. The application now I need to increase the percentage of people as they are trying to add certain things in the product. And, then I am going to talk about this. So, I am assuming that there is some sort of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of We got 490, very satisfied, we don't know if it's going to change or not. It's like if you can just go and change it, and manage the main feature of the application, then it's a hit, because the application pool is completely in it. We can solve it somehow with simple patterns, like you say, as in maintenance, so that we can have some more control over that. But since this is one more major problem, that if I go to the variable, if one component is updating that, it's like if on the add button, and it is updating my passcode now, there is no way for my password. I want to know that this is updated. It doesn't really generate any event. So, when the weather changes, it doesn't really carry anybody, you know, and I do the same. So, you can do it with local variables. And of course, because I have to get cheap on refuse the coding, the thing that is okay, as the passcode can change, and the passcode can function like this, and you can do it, and it is very easy. So, what do you think? Yeah, this is the solution to that, and we'll see how. If you work on any solution, you can definitely use some state management tools, like readers, movers, and all. How many tools do you use? Any of these tools? It is a reader's tool. So, this is our jealous solution. Whenever you want to handle this kind of situation of moving data, and the reason why these tools came up was because of the app in the app, and it was not really possible. So, what exactly is the problem at the end? This is going to interest in the state management of our application. If I was properly receiving, and it's part of the react person in 15.6, a new person, not new anymore. So, as soon as I react, I get 15.4 or so. But it happens. But also we say that it's part of the new react person in 15 months, maybe so. So, they will react since a very long time. Because just then it was kept under the rule, and it was obviously like, this is some area you should never visit. I have been working for the government, and I do not do a complex API. And we don't know why not. And then they came up with a nice API problem so that users of complex API can use more money. This is all it is actually about. For a project, this can take a different route. And then the move is a create context. What exactly is a context? So, we have says and create. Now, when we say create context, I am going to reserve a space for it. And then you do whatever values that we want in there, I have just created a space for it. And these are the two points I am going to provide you. One is a provider. The other one is an engineer. So, this is more like another doctor at CBCA. Another is basically the one who is going to provide some value to be created in the context. And consumers, or consumers, there can be multiple consumers who are listening to that. They will actually be listening to any kind of change and have to do the way in which they have to put in the complex API. So, whenever the private changes in the way in which they have to put in the complex API, all the consumers will be able to know. So, this is how the route looks like. So, let's say, now I am designing one basket now, 321. So, this is not the way it looks like. This is called a simple code. Yes, this is the state of the application, the basket now. This is the same thing from React.  What I have done here is, I am going to say, password context and create context. Here, in the long-term application, what I am saying is, a basket context for providing help. This is the provider of application. So, the kind of data that the application is a provider, so that any way within the application, we can have consumers. And then, what is the benefit of the storage within the complex API? So, now that I have stored this value here, whenever this value gets modified, anybody who is disengaged, they will get modifications. As you know, the basket icon has to be modified. So, now, the application has this provider. That is, there is a header. And this header was basically the server who was saying, you know, why do I have to pass through this basket icon as a property? Now, the header is kind of happy because the header is just in here. The header is in here. So, the header is kind of really handy. It's just, I mean, I don't care about the basket icon. I just have to store some, I have to store the basket icon somewhere in the top right. But I am going to be clear from passing from that property of the basket icon to the basket icon. When I look at the basket icon, this is where my consumer sits. So, wherever in my application, if I want to consume that value of the basket icon, they are to the consumer. Again, I have to know this. And what it does is, this one basically is actually a header. So, I have to define a method. So, the way to do this is, in this case, the basket icon was already stored. And the output of that is another component. This is kind of using this query. So, here, what basket icon says is that, you get this basket icon. I was going to show you the basket icon over here. Yes, I will show you. So, now that your basket icon changes, this is going to be going back over here. So, this is now a copy of the process. So, this also is your header. It is not really concerning you. It just says that I am just going to add the basket icon as my child. And it is the basket icon in my application. Now, let's make our the application state that we are storing. Because there is a single variable, they make it an object. So, what I say is, in my app component, the state of my application has one variable for this perfect example. And this is made by this man, I update this state. And now, from there, it is the same product. I just have to avoid it. I have a header and a product now. And the product is saving this function. This is like a modifier. The value. Now, this is basically going to keep on the same method already. And then, that is going to go back over there. Because the application is going to change the value of the work state here. And even if it is consuming, then it will get involved. So, now, here, and I am kind of happy about it. It is kind of empowering having heroes. So, you know, what you want to do is, you can move this method as part of the work state. So, in my context, here, if you look at this code, what we are saying is, the report state is an object which has the project form. And now, instead of bothering my application to do all these provided things, what we are doing is, we are just creating a separate component which will handle the entire context API part. So, we are creating a component, creating a question, creating a component. And I am doing report state. I am creating a component of the story. I say state and report state. And after that, I also define the method that I am going to add, I will change my project component. I am going to do this immediately for one. And now, what I am going to do is, what the children can do as a variable that I am going to show in the provided in the context. So, as part of the variable, we are saying that now, story test state, as well as the method, I am going to show report on the state. So, this is actually the most creative design because, now, you have data and in this data, some data, both of them are actually kind of together in the context. So, this is actually the most creative design. So, there is this problem in some way, right now. This provider that we are talking about right now, is actually the Redux provider that we are talking about. So, Redux, if it is a this provider, we have the application with the provider and we provide the story on the application, right? So, that is nothing but this kind of provider. We give the story of the application as a story. That is, the report state that we are talking about in the application. And this is, but this is generally how it really works. It deals about this story on this detail and then the other that we are passing just and the data is within that. And then, within this detail I can talk about this the state design. So, then, now, this is actually the the company and the company itself. Now, why did this say boot loose on the state design? Any idea why we put this on? Like, very simple idea of on the state design is that it is not somehow say that I can just create a variable which is sitting outside an application anybody can change it and everybody can access it. So, it's kind of there are chances of your application getting messed up if you don't manage your state property. So, what the job says is that boot loose on the state design is just one or two properties it's okay let me make them take it. Because by creating on the state design such a small situation we will actually create more best in your code. So, it's okay I can do profiting. But let's say in real cases where your data is it needs to access in multiple components of multiple layers. So, when you are using your data let's say that it needs to be sent to the state at one place so that everybody can get in the code. So, if you just have one provider and one consumer that's probably a place that you can use. One is things we saw in our previous project like demo how do you do it for thinking.  So, what happens is anybody who has to modify their visualization like this there is a button which is starting what I'm saying is like I just saw a light color working. They will actually kind of continuous to the context and everybody changes from English to Hindi normally. Then all these components they are just listening for the language a very active language where first they say I want Hindi in that case there are all the components you have to show some kind of language from English to Hindi and there is so that a great place. So, then you have to show that username here in this kind of places you can use for the state A if you see the kind of businesses that they are looking at is kind of very minimal. They are not really looking at storing the application state in context A B A Another way to use the new logic is Jessica want to handle multiple topics in your and then you can actually use it all over context is more like your best friend how many of you have kind of compared to something very private to your friend most of you have done and then if you know how many of you have kind of compared to something very private to your friend most of you have done and somewhere you think that you know how to store it but yes you think it is all given about it so this method we do is written another method with the package in way so there is already a consumer here so wherever my thing is changing in my context it will kind of really end up a component my theme button can actually listen to the changes to the theme of that I am the provider if you can have language provider theme provider there are different kind of providers so there are many very specific products my theme provider said that I am only concerned about theme I am only concerned about language so now I will introduce this one this is how I told you today my application will have that providers which had both the providers the language and theme and it also had both the consumers so therefore either the theme changes or the language changes you always need to know about that nearer readers will understand that readers will spend time in the application will have the route links and we will communicate with each other so for that the developer needs context a theme so that the author can take on the values and he got a parameter for them that can be passed on through all this such a you will go with that and check and then you will have a boundary it will probably just take the props and send it to super but one thing that we probably even used was the second argument which was context so context was actually part of react for a great outcome and it was second argument with the component because it was just that they had obviously that wouldn't be with you but otherwise it's not really a new thing it just has become it's not very good just getting that it was actually internally it was using context for long end so what happened was all these libraries they were actually allowed to use context because there was a kind of trust that was a library made in it even if in the context they would keep changing they would change their sets and they wouldn't do it because it doesn't mean that readers are actually using context itself because readers yes readers apart from creating a piece of code and the best thing is that it has really good like we have this readers they do how many readers they do so you know the stupid thing that it is like it makes readers actually it's not the four times but I see how many I come who are the fifth one and we just keep going once and you know and you have to see there is something yes so those are really readers and more readers and I think state management they will even the old buildings must be there there are a lot more readers that they do it apart from this and this is the last bit of it so this I again take the example of internet nationalization so I have this language selector so I have a component which is considered that let's say there is a problem in the drop down language and the readers have just seen that and the moment the language changes there has to be active language or my image should be active language how much is this component so let's say the component is called language selector and here you see context and we have to store this language in the context so if I do it this can be just that and what I do is I have to mock out the context so within my component I will be having what we said I have to use this context and then create a context to store the language and I will just mock that out and say that we will get stored the context is stored instead of sending whatever is there in the code send this part so there is a language English French and Spanish and active language English so now what we have is within my test and this so now what happens is wherever within the test because it has changed to a different language instead of calling actual context if you just go to this mock and the mock will have its own different value so my test says out of these three values we have to write will the active language be here anymore now so there are other things but not much so there are other things but not


My goodness you guys I haven't done one of these nurse eats videos in so long So I'm gonna do a nurse eats for you guys and today's nurse eats is going to be Artichoke spinach or spinach artichoke sounds to where you'll just say artichoke spinach spinach artichoke spaghetti squash And it's gonna be kind of in a creamy cheesy sauce So I just want to keep it casual with you guys all the ingredients will be listed down below And I will walk you through the steps on making this Delicious spaghetti squash isn't it cute so the first thing you need to do is cut this bad boy in half now This is not meant for children No, seriously guys. This is like so hard to do. It's gonna take me like 10 minutes to cut it open Just kidding like that one, but if you've never had spaghetti squash before I seriously recommend you try even if you're like Oh, I don't like vegetables or you I don't like squash. You should try it. It's just really different than any like Type of vegetable I guess you can say Yeah, so this is like gotta be extra extra careful. This is seriously the hardest part about this whole recipe struggle Struggle is real Now make sure you always point the knife away from you We're getting somewhere. I told you guys I was keeping the casual literally I meant keeping casual you're almost there There we go. I'm just questioning if this is even worth it anymore because that was so much work So the next thing I'm gonna do sorry. I'm like betting tell me because the camera I don't have it on a drive-on is you want to scrape out all the insides See just like that the next thing you want to do is just take some olive oil and I kind of pour in the middle just like probably a tablespoon for each side and then use a little paint brush and paint Paint your squashes, whatever sorts of Painting you want to do. All right, I'm done. I should have just gotten the tripod But I'm trying to set this camera on things. Oh, oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry I'm done trying to set the camera on things to get good angles because I'm like literally sitting on the butter container and my like flour container Anyway, so the next thing that you're gonna do is just sprinkle with that your squash with whatever seeds you want I'm gonna do a little bit of garlic powder and then I'm gonna do a little bit of this Cavender seasoning. It's just a Greek seasoning. Basically.  This is the best seasoning. You can use it on like everything can use it in your hair on your skin Just kidding. I don't need to do that, but it's great for cooking.  Oh, sorry You're supposed to flip them upside down. Okay, go upside down squashes Boom and then I'm gonna put them in the oven at 425 and they cook about 50 minutes Just took the squash. Oh, that's a spoon. Yeah, like that's gonna work. No, let me get a fork So just took these out of the oven. They cook for a little under an hour Yum And they're so hot That it's like hard to even touch them to like scrape the middle out But basically you're just gonna scrape all of this it should come out nice and easy and so soft and just scratch it So it looks like spaghetti So in this next step, I'm just sauteing a little bit of garlic and some butter I know not the healthiest and then you're gonna add in some cream I am gonna do half and half and then also some almond milk. So it's just a little bit healthier But once this is kind of sauteed you can add in your milk and cream to thicken up the sauce I'm gonna add in a little cornstarch and make sure you do it by the Instructions and not just dump it in because it'll seal form like a bunch of little chunks Speaking from experience here now that my sauce is out of good thickness I am gonna add in the artichoke hearts and some spinach So now my squash is cooled down a bit I was able to easily shred it all into like little Spaghetti's and then you're just gonna add in the sauce on top of it and mix it all up I'm just gonna add a little bit of cheese on top for a lot of it of cheese Let's be real here and then I'm gonna put it back in the oven on royal for just a couple minutes. Oh my goodness look at these


TFT or LCD monitor, and usually people don't have those things just lying around for people who are used to building computers, I'm sure you have, but a lot of people are looking for more mobile solutions, and that's why a small group of people out of the UK, called HDMI Pi, came up with this kit to show you there. This is a full-blown HDTV screen, and it's got persuade panels, but unfortunately for them, and so they didn't have a Kickstarter project, they were delivered two years later. By which time, the third installment of Raspberry Pi have come out already, and all the components have moved around, and it didn't fit, so as you can see at the back, I had to do a lot of modification. Luckily that was very easy, I just heated up a sharp knife on my stove, and cut right through. Just to make the other change I've made here, just to make it a little bit better, I've added a very, very pink Xiaomi power bank there, which would allow me to have a full mobile solution in the Xiaomi power bank at 5K amps, and that will last for about four and a half hours. If you watch a full-blown HDMI movie, you can complete it and browse a little bit more. Let me just switch this on. So the only thing I do is just plug in the power bank, and I plug in the HDMI Pi 4, and there you go. Let's see it booting up. Two more seconds. Here we go. This one is just to get one of these very, very easy to use mobile keyboards. This one's got a touchpad in the third, and the keyboard. And this one specifically is really awesome, because if anyone wants to use it later on, we've got, let me just switch it on. So this one's quite cool, if anyone wants to use it later on. I think so, that's it. If anyone wants to come in and look at it later on, you're more than welcome to. I'll be around here. You can play around. I've got spare board, so you can see what the HDMI platform looks like itself. Then, without further ado, next up is Baoshi. Is he ready?
