Coming up on DTNS, Microsoft's AI is the best at captioning. Zoom wants you to hold all your events on Zoom and clear once all your data. Just to make your life easier. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, September 14th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. October 14th, it is. In fact, Tom, and I am at Studio Railway. Well, it was written in September, so I guess it's the 50th. Yeah, I'm Ron Burgundy. I don't know what time it is here, but I'm Scott Johnson in Salt Lake City. And yeah, I'm Roger Chang, the show's producer. You can point the finger at me. Joining us, it says, is Peter Wells, freelance tech journalist. How's it going, Pete? Hi, Tom. Yeah, September 14th is my birthday, so I reckon stick with that. That's why we did that, of course. He was all it was, you know, it was divine intervention. Folks, we were just talking. Roger fixed social networking on Good Day Internet, so you might want to get that show, become a patron and get it at patreon.com. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Reuters sources say that Huawei is in talks to sell its Honor smartphone unit. Honor phones are marketed as budget phones. Digital China, which distributes Honor phones for Huawei, is reportedly the lead candidate to buy Honor's brand, R&D ad supply chain management business. Other possible buyers include TCL and Xiaomi. If Honor is sold, it will no longer be subject to US restrictions placed on Huawei. Oh, that would make sense. Spotify is testing a podcast format, or is it, I don't know, it's some kind of format that allows you to use full music tracks while you talk without having to obtain a separate license from Spotify itself. Spotify will let creators make music podcasts in its anchor creation tool, and that would include the songs anchor creators in Canada, Australia, the UK, US, New Zealand, and Ireland will all have access to that feature. The shows can only be played on Spotify, and only Spotify premium subscribers would be able to hear the full tracks. OnePlus officially announced the OnePlus 8T. We told you it was happening, and it happened today. 6.55 inch phone, 120 Hertz refresh rate on a Snapdragon 865 processor for $749. The OnePlus 8T is up for pre-order right now with a ship date of October 23rd. Dropbox announced Tuesday it's gonna make remote work permanent for pretty much all of its employees. The company will set up Dropbox Studios. Those are physical locations in San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, and Dublin, where employees can come to meet in person when they either need to or want to. Those studios will be set up when it is safe to do so in the regions that they're in. Facebook temporarily reduced the reach of a story from the New York Post about Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden that sources email and video from a laptop said to have belonged to Hunter Biden. Journalists outside the New York Post have questioned whether the information is framed accurately, whether the computer was owned by him, and whether the information is from a reputable source. Facebook will work with its fact checkers to make a final decision on the story. Yeah, we'll probably talk a little bit more about that with Justin Robert Young tomorrow. But today, there's always a few more details out of an Apple announcement that trickle out. For instance, the actual price of the iPhone 12 is $29 more than they said, unless you get it from AT&T or Verizon, right? It's $6.99 or maybe it's $7.29, depends on where you get it, little stuff like that. For instance, Apple also announced it will no longer include headphones or wall chargers with the new iPhones. We talked about that yesterday, just gonna get the Lightning to USB-C cable to reduce packaging, reduce waste, help the environment. But they did lower the price if you need to buy one. So if you need a wall charger or a pair of wired headphones, they used to cost $29, now they cost $19. Interesting. The other thing I wanted to just mention here, I feel like a weird oversight, but just not going straight to USB-C in the manufacturing of the new phone is really odd to me. I don't know what the actual adapter is gonna do for people other than, since it's a male connector on the one end and another male on the other, it's gonna adapt for power. And that's it. I don't know why they didn't just, well, I guess they didn't go that way because a lot of people have Lightning connectors and cables already. Just about to say that, like right now I'm thinking like, oh, I don't know if I even have a USB-C wall connector, but it doesn't matter because I'll get a Lightning cable. Right? If I could use an old Lightning cable to plug into a new iPhone, if it was USB-C, I'd have to get a new cable too. That's true. I wish it was flipped to the other way, the way I'm using USB-C for so many things now. I've got a Switch and an iPad Pro and all these other things that use USB-C. So I've got those cables and those bricks everywhere. Give me a reverse adapter that goes the other way and we're golden. But I do look forward to the day where everybody's on one standard and USB-C is rad.   I had a friend who was, for whatever reason, he wasn't able to watch the event live yesterday and he was like, USB-C, just tell me USB-C. And I was like, USB-C compatible? That's what we got? Good enough, right? And he's like, USB-C. So yeah, it's something that people care about. Peter, does it matter to you? Absolutely. Yeah, I wish they had gone. As soon as the iPads switched to USB-C, I wished they would have moved across. And I think a lot of the criticisms they got about Dongle Town for their laptops would have gone away if the iPhone had moved to USB-C as well because suddenly, yeah, like Scott was saying, it's handy to have the one connector on one end, but if it's the same connector on both ends, then it's just the same silly cable that you have to have in your bag.   So yeah, I'm totally on board. But I don't think we're gonna say it until, I think it's more likely that the iPhone will lose all ports rather than getting a USB-C. Yeah, I think you're probably right. What else we got, Scott? Sorry, that idea just floored me. You're probably right. I don't like that either. I want a little bit of holes in my hardware. I want a little bit of place to put stuff and worry about watering too much dust. Anyway, you can now pair two HomePod minis to each other for stereo sound. So you saw this yesterday and you were thinking, hey, what if those weren't together? Well, now they can. Just like the regular HomePod though, a mini is a regular HomePod, or sorry, Android regular HomePod cannot be paired together for stereo. Oh, that makes me so mad.  It's a little weird though, Sarah. You can still share music across them. The whole home thing still works. You just can't use the two for stereo. Yeah. And I imagine it's because they have different output levels. Totally. So it would be hard to balance them. And this is the exact situation I was talking about with Terrence from Snobo Us on the show yesterday because we're both Sonos people. It's the same thing. My Sonos ones are not deprecated. Some of my older Sonos products are. So there's only certain things that you can do when you're trying to create this cool surround situation in your house. However, the new HomePod minis, 99 bucks, okay, you get a couple, make them a stereo pair. But if you bought the original, which is a very nice product, but just overpriced in a lot of people's minds. And the fact that it is not compatible is kind of a bummer. Yeah, I would, I want two of these, but I don't know if I'm, I hadn't even considered the idea of having them as stereo speakers. I'm more considering this idea of put one in here somewhere and then when I go upstairs, it just sort of continues playing the shins or whatever it is I'm into that day. That seemed like a, you know, that's a cool thing and other products have obviously done this, but that's what my purchase is about. But now knowing that I can do it in stereo, I mean, I don't know. There's probably some use cases where I'll do it, but I don't have an original HomePod because that thing was ridiculously expensive. So totally cool having the two little ones. Well, if you look over my shoulder, you can see one of the new Google Nest speakers, which sounds incredible for its size. So I don't know whether the little mini HomePod will reach that level. But yeah, Sarah, I was son of curious for a little while, but I found that I got burnt by the different compatibility and so now I'm just at Google Home everywhere. And I'm surprised I didn't set off the 17 speakers that are like within eShot of me. But yeah. Well, moving on to a little bit more Apple news that was discussed yesterday, the company announced it will include a three month free trial of Apple Arcade for anybody who buys a new iPhone or iPad or Mac or iPad Touch or Apple TV after October 22nd. Kinda cool if you like Apple Arcade. The service normally costs $4.99 per month and Apple will launch a bundle of services including Apple Arcade later this year. Yeah, so it's weird because you don't get it till after the first round of iPhone ship. So you have to wait. I don't know if this is a way to like discourage people from all ordering at once. And then at some point, there's gonna be this Apple One bundle. So if you have three free months of Arcade but you're paying for other stuff and then you bundle it all together, is it really gonna make that much of a difference? But yeah, I mean, if you're in the situation where you're buying after October 22nd, you don't want Apple One, but you do wanna try Arcade and play some games. Sure, why not? Yeah, they also did the same thing with the launch of the 11 if I'm not wrong. I got three months free of Arcade as a launch product with that phone rollout. So it's been a year. Did you get using it, Scott? I did for a number of months and then canceled when things really slowed down. There was like a period there where they just weren't getting new stuff. And for a while, they were getting like two, three new titles a week. And it was like, whoa, this is great. I'll just keep trying this stuff. And I got to a point where it just wasn't happening at that rate or that click. And I just said, you know what? Let's put it off for a while, wait for something super rad to come out. And honestly, nothing's really jumped out at me quite yet. So the titles or a few have actually, but they've been better on PC for example. So I just go play them there. So yeah, like the motivation hasn't been there, but do I get a fresh three months? If I get an iPhone 12, they didn't really get into that. I don't think we know that, but my guess is probably not. These are probably for new people getting the phone for the first time. I think it will actually be for other people who've had the three months free before because to me, this sounds like not enough people are using Apple Arcade and they wanna get people back in to see what games are in there. Yeah. And last little Apple follow-up Snapchat said it'll launch a lens that will take advantage of that LiDAR sensor that's come into the iPhone Pros. The depth sensing in LiDAR will let Snapchat place items and scenes at different depths. So if you've got grasp, it'll be behind you.   And of course, Snap is gonna update its lens studio so that you'll be able to create lenses yourself that support those LiDAR powered of lenses. Seems to me, if that really takes off that phone and those features, like it's already gonna be a limited access phone that everyone's gonna be able to afford the pro. But if those features take off, I think you'll start to see Apple put, well, they probably do this anyway, but I think future phones will just have these camera capabilities, this LiDAR capability, and pretty soon all the social media stuff will work. If it catches on, there's enough of them, yeah. Yeah, it has to catch on, I guess. Microsoft's algorithms can caption images with better accuracy than humans topping the NoCaps captioning benchmark. Captioning model will be available through Azure Cognitive Services for any developer to use, as well as Seeing AI. This is Microsoft's app for blind and visually impaired users. It will come to Microsoft Office apps later this year. Once again, Microsoft AI, better than humans at some stuff. And this may not sound like much when you say captioning, but it's the kind of thing that helps search results at the kind of thing. If you've looked for stock photography, captioning can really help with that. It also will be in Office. You'll be able to use this in PowerPoint so you could put a thing in and captions automatically show up or it makes it easier for you to find the image you wanna put into PowerPoint, not to mention the accessibility stuff that you talked about there, Scott, like putting it in Seeing AI so that you have more accurate descriptions of what people are seeing based on this, right? If you point the phone at something and say, what is that, this will be more accurate at determining what that thing is. If they can roll this out to social media platforms, this would be incredible for the visually impaired because when was the last time you actually wrote up a description of the image you just posted to Twitter or Instagram or Facebook? No one does it. So if the robots can do it for us, then that will make visually impaired people's experiences of social media so much better. That's so interesting. I didn't even consider the use case of social media. In my head this whole time, since prep show, till now I've been thinking, oh, well, how will this work in Word and PowerPoint and just very baseline thinking about where Microsoft might integrate this. But as a way to, I don't know, put a photo up in Twitter, even for somebody who isn't visually impaired to be able to say, well, here's this photo in France somewhere and have that thing go blip and tell me exactly where and what and all that. That's pretty big. I don't know if it makes us dumber because we don't have to look stuff up anymore or more and more. But it's an interesting use case I hadn't really thought of and certainly for the visually impaired and otherwise those looking for good accessibility features, absolutely like that. And not even just for social media, right? For websites and other images as well. I think that's a really good point. Anybody that's using a screen reader for anything would appreciate this being used because it just automates that stuff. Well, I don't know if any of y'all have heard of Zoom. Kind of a thing. Tell me more. Yeah, okay. So Zoom has started beta testing a service called On Zoom that lets paid Zoom users host and sell tickets to online events of up to 1,000 attendees. Up to 1,000 attendees. But you know, that's an event. On Zoom takes credit cards and also PayPal. It won't take a cut of ticket sales. On Zoom isn't beta though, which will last until next year. Non-profits can take donations through pledging. Similar products exist from Eventbrite and Meetup. So Zoom is not the first venture to get into this but they are kind of the big name these days. Google launched a fund for YouTubers in September if you're familiar with that. Zoom also announced apps. Apps that can integrate into the Zoom experience so you don't have to switch back and forth between apps. 35 launch partners include the likes of Asana, Atlassian, Dropbox, HubSpot, Slack, SurveyMonkey, Ryke, and Zendesk. They have a lot of partners. Zoom also announced an encryption which will start rolling out next week. That was something that, you know, it got a lot of flak for not having up until this point. Users will have to turn it on once it's available but they can. And if everyone is in a meeting and has it turned on, a green shield will appear at the top left letting you know your meeting is encrypted. At launch, if end-to-end encryption is on, you won't be able to use live transcription, however. Join before a host and a few other features. Yeah, the encrypted stuff is finally here. Good. If you've got somebody calling into your Zoom though, it's not gonna be end-to-end encrypted because you can't end an encrypted phone call. So that's why they're saying, look, everybody in the meeting has to have the setting on, has to be using the desktop or the mobile client or a Zoom room to do this. Otherwise, we can't end-to-end encrypt it. But yeah, good for them. Yeah, you could have, you know, if you're doing something in a corporate environment, you could have rules in place and IT rules and stuff where people are all end-to-end and you're good to go. So that seems like a good thing in the right direction. In terms of this on Zoom thing, it's interesting because I think it's in, as much as others have already been doing it, it's kind of a response to what people are already doing with Zoom as their resource.  But the ticketing stuff is all handled through some other party or PayPal direct or whatever. And over here, you've got Zoom as the thing that's actually bringing you the event. Zoom probably just said, well, why aren't we the middlemen here? Why aren't we doing the entire process for that? There must be enough of that going on that they feel like it could be another space for them to make a little money. So not surprised at all. And I'd be thinking it makes sense. Like I would rather do my concert one stop no matter who I'm getting it with and Zoom does too, I guess. Yeah, every Friday I'm on a pub trivia quiz because of course we can't leave the house. So, and that's over Zoom. And yeah, it's this mess of seven different services that you have to jump through to get to the trivia quiz. But I just found it funny the Zaps, the Zoom apps that they announced. I remember a couple of weeks ago I was listening to a podcast and they take a podcast and they said, Zoom has really dropped the ball. They've got so much kind of mind share at the moment and they're not innovating fast enough to launch new products while they've got their moment in the sun. And I thought, what are you talking about? Like I'm on Zoom 14 hours a day and the site has never dropped a connection once. Like that's innovation in itself. The uptime that they've got. Let's just work on that until we get through this whole pandemic thing and then you can start to roll out some new services. And it's good to say that they're doing that. You can actually, you could also ask the question whether or not it will be as viable an idea if things open up more fully because there'll be less demand on say performers who want to do ticketed concert style things over Zoom. They'll just do tours. And so if we truly are getting to a place where we can congregate in that way again then this kind of was for naught. But maybe it's no big deal for them. They're just creating kind of a middle man processor and taking advantage of it while it getting good. Yeah, it's amusing to me that someone would be like, gosh, why Zoom accidentally captured all of our market share and we all are sort of feel forced to use them. Why aren't they making more money off me? And yeah, here they go. Cause honestly, like this isn't new. The idea of doing virtual events and charging for them as you mentioned, Sarah, there's event bright and others out there. But it's because everybody has Zoom that people are like, oh, well, if I can do it in Zoom, then I know people will show up because there's hardly a person left, at least in our audience who hasn't used Zoom at least once in the last several months. So if there's a thing on Zoom, you're more likely to go like, oh yeah, I have Zoom. I guess I could attend that thing. It sounds kind of fun. I mean, Scott, you could do Nerdtacular over Zoom. Yeah, we've actually talked about it or we've been talking about doing kind of a from home blizz gone like you and I did back in 2012. Yeah, yeah. We thought a little bit about doing something like that.  Like you can create a panel of 100 people if you wanted to or smaller, bigger, whatever, pretty light footprint. The use cases are pretty obvious for it or for something like it. I kind of wish somebody else was more neck and neck with them right now, but maybe some of this is just, they're the name right now. That's just the name. Yeah, they're the VHS. That's exactly it. I mean, you mentioned that the audio quality is not that great. Anything recorded from Zoom is awfully compressed, trust me. I've tried to audio engineer a few of these great interviews otherwise. And I'm like, oh my God, this is so bad. And there are other solutions, but they're a little bit more limited. They're smaller teams. You know, it's like cooler wave files, but you can only have five people at a time. You can't do stuff like what Zoom has been able to experience for better or for worse over the last year. I know that the company is definitely been constrained just because of the world and everyone needing to use it, but there are other options. And sometimes I kind of chuckle, where I'm like, Zoom has become the Kleenex of video conferencing, you know? You have lots of different brands, but you call it this one thing. When my mother who doesn't own a smartphone said, hey, do you want to Zoom next Sunday? That's when I realized Zoom was a thing. Well, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, be sure to subscribe to dailytechheadlines.com. Mediums10 has a story from Dave Gershgorn about Clear. If you're not familiar, Clear is a U.S. company best known for operating travel verification programs. They'll let you skip the security line at about 35 U.S. airports. Clear verifies who you are.  And then when you show up for your plane, you just do a fingerprint scan or an iris scan and you speed right through.  Clear also uses this technology outside of airports. They use it in stadiums in the Bay Area to help speed you through the ticket line. They experimented with touch to pay kiosks at the Napa Farms Market Concession Stand at San Francisco Airport. So you can just pay with your thumb by associating a payment method with your Clear account. Clear also partnered with the Seattle Mariners baseball team for priority stadium access and age verification if you wanted to get a beer or something. Clear partnered with Budweiser on an actual machine that let you take your fingerprint and authenticate not only that you were 21, but also pay for the beer. They say from the moment you put your finger down, you could get your beer in 20 seconds. Most recently Clear has launched a health verification platform called HealthPass. That combines COVID testing and self-reported status. This is self-reported status that is standard in a lot of workplaces where they're like, you need to say, did I have a cold? Did I have a temperature? All of that sort of thing. So they combine all that to clear people to enter their workplace. That includes Seattle's T-Mobile Stadium where they weren't taking crowds, but they had people there for the Mariners games. That included the 9-11 Memorial Museum in New York. Some restaurants chopped and dosed toros in New York City. In fact, the NHL, the National Hockey League, used HealthPass for players and staff during the playoff bubbles that they had in Edmonton and Toronto.  Why are you whipping all these cards out? So I really like this piece on Medium because Dave Gershkorn doesn't raise the alarm and oversensationalize it. He just lays it out. Like, Clear wants to do this. There's some benefits. Maybe there's some concerns in having a company know all this about you. It's kind of for you to decide. Yeah, I've been super curious about it for a long time. And everyone I know who uses it, Tom, you're one of them, sings its praises, like says, well, yeah. I mean, once you've done, it's like one password. You're any kind of password manager? A little bit. The value of it is the company, right? Yeah, if you trust them, then you've got this one stop. You're done. Think about it ever again. Like there is something to that. It's just all about the bright company. And then maybe they're the right company, but it was one password, the right company. It's some other one. What I like about one password is they're not the only company. There's also last pass and key pass and dash lane, right? Like this is what concerns me about Clear is they're the only ones vetted to do a lot of this right now. Yeah, that's my big concern or my big hang up is I need some other choice so I can see what one would offer over the other one or what one failed at and the other one didn't or which one got a breach and something terrible happened to them, the one that didn't. Like we haven't had enough time with it. I mean, that's the whole thing too. It's like, what's the downside of this great thing that Tom just laid out? Oh, everything is gonna, so much friction being eradicated from your life. Well, if there's a data breach or if the company for some reason has like nefarious reasons to use your data for other things, then that would be terrible. Those things do happen. But you kind of have to, I don't know. I mean, I am on the less paranoid side of the fence when it comes to these sorts of things because I'm like, just getting through an airport, for example, is huge hassle. Everybody hates it. Nobody likes it. Clear sounds great. I am not a clear member. Sounds wonderful. But just things like, yeah, go into a stadium when we all go back to stadiums whenever that's going to be. But just, pain for things. Having your, we know who you are. You're in our system already. Just the least amount of friction is to me is worth it. And maybe that is naive of me to say, but I just, I feel like this is cool rather than scary. Yeah. So that's interesting. Cause doesn't, I mean, convenience often wins out totally in the end. Like, but there's still this threshold. And Pete, I'm super curious what you'd say about this, but I feel like there's a threshold. I don't know what it is for this though. Cause this feels like every egg in one basket. And as we know that phrase, you're supposed to be careful about doing that, right? Yeah, I think that, you know, the fact that clear hasn't had a data breach, we haven't seen what that would look like, like how terrifying that might actually be. So, I think that that would, you need to see that first. And I don't know, clear has never taken off in Australia just because it's much easier getting through airports in Australia than it is in the US. I would pay for clear in a second or sign up for it in a second if I had to travel through your airports as much as I travel through my own, but, or, Dude, I missed clear when I was going back through the Sydney airport. I'm not going to lie. Oh, look, I'm not saying, I'm not saying our international experience is a great one, but for domestic, it's just like, Hey, mate, how are you doing when you walk through? So, yeah, look, I can see, I don't know. I definitely think we need something like this when, if we're talking about opening up stadiums again, and, you know, I missed the footies so much. I want to go see a football game again. I will, I will let my written to be scanned. I'll let someone poke my nose. I don't care if it means I can get to see my football games again. I'll do all of it. So I'm probably going to just sign away anything if it means that I can see football again. And I would imagine a lot of people are in that same situation.

Was talking about some iPhones that we talked about yesterday. Quite a few form factors. Norm says, I'm a fan of the small form factor. So I thought the iPhone SE was my way to stay in this way. As a result, I'm kind of disappointed that the iPhone 12 mini has come out even smaller than the SE that came out just last year and only slightly larger than the first gen iPhone SE from 2016. After over four years without a small form factor, we get two in two years. The new mini is 300 more than the SE, so I might have skipped regardless, but I'm still a bit bummed. I guess the positive is that Apple will be producing a budget model, the SE, and a smaller version of their flagship model next year. So maybe the iPhone 13 mini will be my next phone. Yeah, Norm, you and a million others are feeling the same pain of like, wait, you came out with a new thing, that long after I bought the last thing? It's a never-ending peril, isn't it? I'm really excited for the mini though, because I played with the SE when it came out. I got a review unit for a few weeks, and it is still the older form factor. It is still not the best internals, all that kind of stuff.  So I can't wait. Yeah, it's funny, because this is the time I'm thinking about going for the monster one, because even though seven inches sounds insane, like insane, it's basically a small television in my hand. I have big hands, and I benefit from a larger phone, and my eyes aren't getting any younger, I can tell you that. So for me, I wanna go big now, but I get the value or the interest people are having in going back to a smaller form factor, especially with all the features, things that, you know, spec for spec, it's the same phone minus the size, and I think that's actually pretty cool. Well, shout out to our patrons at our master and grandmaster levels, including Dale McKayhee, Allyson Jobby, and Paul Thiessen. Also, big, big thanks to Peter Wells for being with us today. Peter, it's been too long, let folks know where they can keep up with your work. You can follow me on Twitter, I'm just Peter Wells over on the Twitter's, but I did want to mention Metta is a new podcast that's been out for a couple of weeks now. I've had some great guests like Cara Swisher, who is one of my all-time fav tech journals. We've had some great conversations, and it's just, it's a podcast about podcast, hence the name, but really, if I'm being honest, it's just an excuse for me to chat to people I like, because I assumed that by 2021, everyone will have a podcast, so I'll get to be able to chat to whoever I want to. Yeah, that's perfect. So check it out, it's called Metta, got, right? That sounds great. Yeah, good stuff. Always like a new podcast. Also thanks to Scott Johnson and Scott's, what's been going on in your world? Well, speaking of new podcasts, the current geek Chronicles season one ends today with the release of episode eight actually came out yesterday.

Today we will show you how to use File Vault 2 on your Mac to encrypt an external drive. File Vault 2 is built into OSX, however it will not encrypt a FAT partition and requires a drive to be formatted as Mac OSX Extended Journaled first with a GUID partition table. We will start this tutorial assuming this has already been completed. It is worth noting though that if you need to use the drive with a Windows computer it will not be readable by Windows. Please see our tutorial on Veracrypt for cross-platform encryption. First we need to right click on the volume we wish to encrypt. Then we select encrypt. Next we will be prompted for a password and a password hint. It is best to use a strong and complex password. Apple has a tool available here to help you create one. However for this example I will use a simple password. Once we have entered the password and the password hint we select encrypt disk. This procedure may take a little while depending on the size of a drive. During this process the drive will disappear and reappear on the computer. I will now speed this part of the tutorial up. As you can see when we next plug the drive in it requires the password we gave above. This concludes our tutorial on encrypting external drive using File Vault 2. Thank you for watching.

Today, we're in chapter 6 here in the book of Luke. We're going to be looking at verses 12 through 19. So let's begin reading here in Luke chapter 6 at verse 12, and I'll read to verse 19 and we'll get into our study. Luke chapter 6, beginning at verse 12 and reading to verse 19. Luke writes, now it came to pass in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day he called his disciples to him and from them he chose 12 whom he also named apostles, Simon whom he also named Peter and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus and Simon called the zealot, Judas the son of James and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor. And he came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon who came to hear him and be healed of their diseases, as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him for power went out from him and healed them all. What we see here this evening, this portion of Scripture relates to the calling and equipping of the twelve, the twelve who are ultimately referred to by apostles. And these are the men who ultimately make up the core of what has become called Christians. Now at this time people are beginning to choose sides concerning Jesus Christ. The religious leaders are having difficulties with the things that he is saying and the things that he is doing. They especially have found fault with him as it relates to the way he treated the Sabbath. He had recently healed a man on the Sabbath and instead of rejoicing with the man who was healed they were filled with rage. Remember verse 11 it says they were filled with rage and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus. That word rage there in the original language means that there was a rage that was really like madness. They were absolutely incensed, incredibly angry about this. And so it says here that they discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus. Matthew gives us further insight if you take notes as found in Matthew chapter 12 verses 14 and 15 when it says the Pharisees went out and plotted against him how they might destroy him. But when Jesus knew what he withdrew from there and a great multitude followed him and he healed them all. And so they are not only just in rage, they are now beginning to plot about how they're going to be able if they can put Jesus to death. And so this is the background. This is what is taking place at this time. And so as we look at verse 12 it says it came to pass in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray. This is an unnamed mountain. It's in northern Israel in Galilee. But under those conditions Jesus now takes time to do something. He takes time to choose 12 apostles. His popularity is growing. His work is increasing. And now it is becoming more demanding. And because of this he begins to organize the work and he begins to train his leadership. Now they're being trained to do the work of God. The ministry is also what is referred to in Scripture as a work of God. And they're being trained to be fellow ministers working alongside of Jesus Christ. Later on Paul when he was writing in 1 Corinthians in chapter 3 verse 9 described himself and God's people as being God's fellow workers. And that's what's taking place right now. Jesus is about to choose the ones he will pour himself into who are going to continue his work. And so what does he do? How does he go about doing this? How is Jesus going to choose 12 out of so many disciples? How is he going to go about making the choice as to who he's going to have as his core? Those who are going to be with him. Those are going to spend time learning from him in a personal way. Well first I want you to notice what he does. As he's about to make this choice it says that he went out to the mountain to pray. So the first thing we see about him making this kind of choice is he went out to pray. Before choosing the apostles there he is alone on a mountain. He spends an entire night in prayer. And this is serious prayer because the future of the church depends on his choices. He needs to make decisions that are in agreement with the will of his father. And so he's there making prayerful choices. And what's interesting to me, and we'll see this as we go through the Gospel of Luke, one of those choices that he makes is for a man by the name of Judas. Even Judas was part of the prayerful choices of selection. And so that's what he's doing. He's spending the night on a mountain praying. And in verse 13 it says, and when it was day he called his disciples to him. And from them he chose 12. He chose 12 whom he also named apostles. Now there are a number of followers who are gathered together. And from those followers he chooses 12. One of the scriptures that the Lord gave to me a long time ago as it relates to leadership and choosing and mentoring, developing, organizing and implementing is found in Mark chapter 3 verse 14. It's a very simple scripture. It's the same particular subject. It's the choosing of the 12, but the way Mark says it, it simply says he appointed 12 that they might be with him. And so I have that, by the way, I'll say this briefly. I do have that as a way of philosophy in terms of ministry. I believe that one of the most effective ways to train leaders is to spend time with them, is to have appointed time with them. When our church first began many years ago now, I had three men who were on my board. And so the board here, the church board, consisted of four men, myself and three others. And I had a little office on B Street in the city of Ontario, right off of Euclid. And every Tuesday from the beginning of the church, every Tuesday, I would meet with these three other men. And I would prepare a study for them. And what they would do is they would meet with me at the office there at 7 o'clock. And they'd come into the office. I'd be waiting for them at 7. They'd come on Tuesday at 7 o'clock in the evening.  And there was a Mexican restaurant there. And we would go up to this restaurant. And we would get coffee. And we'd get some chips and salsa. And I would talk to them for an hour, just enjoying them, just visiting with them. And I'd ask them, you know, what did you guys do today? And just kind of catch up on things. And then we'd be there from 7 o'clock to 8. And then from 8 o'clock, they would come to my office. And from 8 to 9, I would say, this is what the Lord is laying on my heart. This is where I think God wants to lead this church. These are the things that He's been teaching me. And for the next hour, I would just share with them the things on my heart. I learned to do that from Mark chapter 3 verse 14. The Scripture I just quoted that He chose 12 that they might be with Him. Because I believe that the best way to impart vision is to spend time with people.  You know, from that time, from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock, 25 years ago, going on 26 now, from that time to this day, every Tuesday, every Tuesday, I have a staff meeting. Every Tuesday, I do the same thing that I did 25 years ago. And after Wednesday night Bible studies, when you see me disappear and you might wonder where to go, I'm in the back and I have a staff meeting. And I have a staff meeting on Sunday nights too. I have a staff meeting on Monday. We have a lot of staff meetings in this church because I like to impart things to the men. I like to hear where their hearts are and I like to share where mine is with them. I learned that from Jesus. Jesus had a multitude of people. He had disciples within that multitude. And from that multitude and those disciples, He chose as those whom He refers to as apostles. Now, the men that He chooses here are 12 ordinary men. And what He wants to do is He wants to spend time with them. He actually is going to become a friend to them. They're going to hear His words. They're going to witness His works. They're going to study His doctrine. They're going to work alongside of Him. They're going to eat with Him. They're going to talk to Him. They're going to laugh with Him. They will cry with Him. They're going to ask Him questions. They're going to be with Him. His ministry will be taught and His ministry will be caught by these men. They're going to learn what to be, what to do, and what to say as His ambassadors. And the purpose is going to be to train them to do the work of ministry. Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 and 12 tells us that He appointed some to be apostles and prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. He said for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. And that's what God is doing here, you see. That's what Jesus Christ is doing is He's spending time with these men so that they might be able to take out the things that He's pouring into them and that they might be able to perform those things in the world, especially when He's gone. There was a church in Strasbourg, France. It was severely damaged by bombs during World War II. And they had a beloved statue of Christ there, and it survived the bombing. But a sealing beam had fallen across the arms and broken them off. A local sculptor offered to restore the statue without charge, but the townspeople decided to leave it as it was without hands.  And that's what the Lord Jesus Christ is doing. He's equipping these saints for the work of ministry. Now notice with me, it says in verse 13, He called His disciples to Him, and from them He chose 12 whom He named apostles. The word disciple is the Greek word that means a learner or a pupil. It speaks of a follower. These disciples are the ones who are already pursuing the Lord Jesus, attached to Him over a lifetime. But from these disciples, He now selects 12 whom He refers to as apostles. The word apostle is the Greek word apostolos, and it speaks of an ambassador, one who has been sent forth representing the government of the kingdom of God. And the apostles were a small select group, and they would teach with authority, they exercised power to perform miracles, and they were the building blocks that God used to lay the foundation for the kingdom. That's what Ephesians chapter 2 says, verses 19 and 20, when it says, You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself being the chief cornerstone. Now what's interesting here is the names of these are now given to us. Notice the names, verse 14. You have Simon, whom He also named Peter, Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus and Simon called Azelot, Judas the son of James and Judas Ascariot, who also became a trader. When you look at the list of apostles in the various places you find them in the gospels as well as the book of Acts, you will always see Simon Peter, the first name on the list, and you will always see Judas Ascariot, the last name. Now as you look at these men, I want you to notice something with me. You have some men that may be fairly well known to you. If you read your gospels, they become well known to you. If you read the book of Acts, some of these men will stand out. You know, Judas obviously is well remembered for what he did, but you also have Peter and you have Andrew and you have James and you have John. Everybody knows doubting Thomas. We know Matthew and even Philip may stand out to you because they are mentioned more than once in Scripture, but you also have some who are less recognizable. You have men like Bartholomew, you have James the son of Alpheus, you have Simon the zealot, you have Judas the son of James. Judas the son of James also is given two different names, Lebeius and Thaddeus are also the same man, and most of those people are pretty much unknown to us. It's interesting how the Lord Jesus Christ took this group of basically fairly ordinary and regular type people and used them to produce the building blocks, the foundations of the church. But when you look at them, they're not that spectacular or remarkable. You know, some of them do indeed stand out, but most of them are basically anonymous to us outside of mentioning Scripture, even here and maybe one or two other places. But it's interesting how the Lord Jesus Christ took people who were so different and made them into a team outside of Judas. You have men like Matthew who is a tax gatherer, and who is Matthew there with is with a guy named Simon who's a zealot. Now that may not mean anything to you, but when you consider the fact that the zealots were what we would call today the reactionaries, they were the activists of the Society of Israel, they hated the nation of Rome, it was an amazing thing how the Lord Jesus Christ could take a tax gatherer who was hated by the zealots and put them together and actually create a team. That means that there's got to be something greater than our self-interest, there's got to be something greater than the things that we are most interested in, that we can put aside in order to center our attention on that which is most important. And I believe that that happens in churches when Jesus Christ remains the center of attention. Listen, if we come into churches and we bring our own agendas and we say, well the church would be better if I bring this in and I bring that in. Sometimes the things that we want to bring into the church are more divisive than unifying. We have to center our attention on the things that are most important. And I find it interesting to note that you could have a tax gatherer whom everybody hated as well as a man who was an activist hated the tax gatherers and yet they could be brought together for a central goal which was greater than their self-interest which is to promote the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. And when they attacked themselves to Jesus Christ the lives were transformed. The lives became different, they became better, they became something that was worthy of being called Christian and that's what happens. So you have some that are remarkable but you have some that are unremarkable. In reality you don't see any major players here though. You know today if people were to select a dream team for the foundations for Christianity I wonder how many of us would be thought of as being candidates for that. I mean you've got Peter, James, John and Andrew and all they are are fishermen. All they are, they're businessmen but that's basically all they are. They're not theologians, they're not well known in the society, they don't have anything that really causes other people to look at them and say boy you know these people have something that makes me want to follow them. I've discovered that God has a way of working with unspectacular people so that the glory goes to him and not to the man. Years ago I was talking to my own pastor Chuck and I was going to school at the time along with several other Calvary pastors and I was talking to Chuck and I said, pastor what do you think about us going back to school? What do you think about that? I was going to Azusa Pacific at that time, I was taking a master's class there in ministry and I asked him what do you think about that and he thought for a moment he says well you know education is fine. There's nothing wrong with it. He says but the thing that concerns me the most is the success of the ministry. He says because God blesses in the ministry and what happens is the schools begin to take credit for the work of the person who graduated from that school and so you might have a massive church you know a Calvary chapel that is making a tremendous impact and before you know it the school that graduated that person that pastor begins to say well we are the ones who trained him. He said that's the thing that concerns me because most of the Calvary pastors that I know are pretty much guys who just basically just barely graduated from high school. I mean we got good grades when we could spell our name the same two times in a row. I mean that's that's the way we were. I mean we didn't have the greatest educational background. I graduated from high school with a D minus average you know and I wasn't you know I wasn't a Rhodes scholar when I was in college either. It was very very tough. It was hard for me an undisciplined background of an individual who didn't really read anything outside of comic books three years and I discovered a long time ago and I say this as an encouragement to you especially to those who are there saying right now I'm smarter than you let me encourage you that that may be so and probably is but what God looks for is not a remarkable or spectacular person who can take the glory for themselves. What God looks for is somebody who gets out of the way so God gets all the glory so that the world begins in the church world can actually scratch their heads and say man how that happened. I can still remember I was in a particular class Jeff Johnson and I Jeff is a pastor of Calvary Chapel of Downey and we were in a class and there was an older pastor he was he was probably in his sixties had been in ministry for over 40 years and we were young at that time it's been a number of years now probably 18 years or more ago and there we were in this class and I remember him looking at Jeff and looking at me and finally after class after class he finally said into the semester he said I just have to ask a question and he said that to the professor Dr. Grant and so the professor said what is the question you'd like to ask and he turns and he looks at Jeff and he looks at me and he says I just want to know why them why them why has God blessed their ministries why has God done that and that's the mystery of it isn't it that God has a way of just doing what God wants to do and when Jesus Christ chose these men look at them carefully the original apostles were just unremarkable they were simply ordinary people ordinary people who spent time with Jesus Christ after the day of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit falls upon the 120 there in the upper room in the city of Jerusalem and they've spilled out into the street and the apostle Peter has given that wonderful Pentecost message and thousands of people are beginning to get saved God began to do some remarkable works and ultimately on one occasion Peter and John went to the temple at the hour of prayer in order that they might go in for prayer and as they were entering into the gate called beautiful there was a man there at the gate called beautiful the beautiful gate who was there begging and alms from people and and Peter and John are about to walk past him and yet as they approached this man a man who more than likely by the way had been there many times Jesus had passed him by I'm certain several times as he was on his way into the temple but had had not healed him but this time Peter and John are going in and as they're about to walk in this man is there and and Peter looking down at the man says to the man look at us now when the man raises his eyes to look up at Peter and John the Bible says he he looked up expecting to receive something and and meaning and alms he was expecting to get some money and that's when Peter looks at him and says silver and gold have I none but such as I have give I thee in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I say unto you rise to your feet and walk and the Bible says that he reaching down takes the man by the hand and begins to lift him up and as he begins to lift him the man begins to begins to receive strength in his his ankles and his calves and his knees and his thighs and his back and an instant equilibrium and and he begins to walk and he begins to leap and then he begins to praise God and now he's hanging on to the men and he's amazed and now a group of people who knew that this was a crippled man who had been in that wise for a long time began to come around and then Peter looking at them says men of Israel why do you look upon us as if it's our own holiness our own goodness that has caused this man to become every whithole before you said it's in the name of Jesus Christ and he begins to preach to them while the religious leaders don't appreciate that very much at all because as he's preaching he lets the religious leaders know that it was through their efforts that the Messiah was actually crucified died and was buried they didn't like that so they arrested them now they're upset they want these people to stop speaking but the problem is is they begin to realize that a work happened they see Peter they see this man who had been crippled and the Bible in Book of Acts tells us in chapter 4 it tells us that they took note that these men who were unlearned men this is what they said concerning them them that they had been with Jesus that's what they say they took note concerning these unlearned men these men who were not trained in their seminaries they simply took note that these men had been with Jesus that's the key spending time with Jesus spending time with the Lord that's the key having this mentality did that without you I can do nothing is the key to God using you in wonderful ways why so that no flesh will glory in his sight so that you can't after doing some wonderful thing in his name go back to your house boasting about how important and how effective and how good you are at what you do it's this amazing dependence on the Lord saying to him God unless you go with me I don't want to go out and I know that on a personal level because I'm shy by nature some of you have discovered that I've had people get hurt feelings with me over the years nothing recent but it'll happen again because I'm quiet and they might walk up to me and they expect me to be like I am behind the pulpit when I'm there having a cup of coffee and and I'm friendly but I'm not real animated you know and and sometimes they think oh he's not and let me tell you something you know God takes people who are not comfortable doing what I do and he puts you in the position of doing that so you depend on him listen one last thing I hated studying I didn't enjoy reading almost I did not like writing and I hated standing in front of the class and guess what I do every day God has a way of doing that he has a way of saying oh you don't like to read that much anymore you're gonna read you don't like to write you're gonna learn to write you don't like to stand up and talk in front of people you'd rather recede into the background I'm gonna put you in the foreground because that way you remain dependent on me and so the Lord Jesus Christ is selecting some men they're very unremarkable men and yet these are the men that he chooses now let's look at them I want to share a few more things about them first I want to point out something here again I want you to see that it's Jesus who called them to himself notice verse 13 he called his disciples to him and they did not decide that they had this calling of being an apostle they didn't strive to be chosen they didn't sit up in the very front we'll say of all the other disciples and you know sometimes there were people in class that would the teacher would say well I'd like to call in the class can one of you answer this and you have that one person whose hands up all the time me me choose me you know they weren't doing that they didn't stand up there me me I want to be an apostle you know that didn't happen like that at all in John 15 verse 16 it says you didn't choose me I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain you didn't choose me I made the choice for you so when he called his disciples to him and second he appointed those 12 that they might be with him even as I mentioned a moment ago because he's going to mentor them he's mentoring them in the ways of God he's going to reveal himself in a clear way to them in Luke chapter 10 verses 22 through 24 Jesus said all things have been delivered to me by my father no one knows who the son is except the father and who the father is except the son and the one to whom the son wills to reveal him then he turned to his disciples and said privately blessed are the eyes which see the things you see for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see and have not seen it and to hear what you hear and have not heard it so he's going to give to them things he's going to reveal to them the mysteries of the kingdom so one he chooses them and two he wants to be with them so that he might be able to disciple mentor them and producing them an ability to take that which he has communicated to them and give it to the world a third thing he intended to equip them he's equipping them in order that he might send them being with Jesus qualified them to bear witness to him and to minister in his name again they were ordinary men that God would use to astound the world turned it upside down turned it upside down again in first Corinthians Paul says in chapter one verses 26 through 29 you see your calling brethren that not many wise according to the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen and the things which are not to bring to nothing the things that are that no flesh should glory in his presence sometimes sometimes i stand amazed at the goodness of God at the goodness of God because you know what what what many in this room might not know might not remember we're not here well i remember i remember what it was like in 1973 to have the first bible study that i ever gave in september of 1973 in a little home in norwalk i remember that i remember what it's like to have a handful of people coming to bible studies there in norwalk for years what it was like to have a bible study in 1974 and in ontario and into mont clare in 1975 i remember what it was like to be an assistant pastor in a small church and to be on staff there for a few years and and they have bible studies that sometimes may have 30 and most of the time a little bit less and i do remember i do remember what it was like to start this fellowship with 25 people 30 adults possibly and 15 kids and i remember what it was like for the first two or three years where we had wednesday night bible studies and no child care we met in a house and we remained there for at least two years in this home until we finally needed to start getting child care and and i remember our first child care for wednesday nights which was not really child care at all we had two women in the fellowship who were in their 60s and we thought well you know they're they're they're sweet ladies that didn't really know them very well they were in their 60s in the early 60s and and i thought well we ought to have these grandmas taking care of the children and you know and we didn't even have children's ministry and so i had these two women who were to take care of a handful of babies and i was teaching in a classroom in ontario christian elementary school and my back was to the wall and the and the wall was the wall that separated the teaching room from the babysitting room and and i remember hearing noise kind of loud but i didn't know what it was but i thought boy they're kind of loud those kids are kind of loud in that room and i heard that a couple times until my my daughter karin who is one of the small children who were being cared in that room told me one day she was only a few years old and she said daddy those women sure are mean to us and i said what yeah they're yelling at us all the time i said you're kidding me no daddy they yell at us all the time and so i sent someone there to stand next to the door on a wednesday night and lo and behold these grandmas had demonic spirits they were mean grandmas you know hell's angel grandmas i mean i should have known the tattoos and the chains but that you know i thought well and you know but i still remember that and so did the kids who were scarred by that and and our sunday night services that we had in a small room that we had we've been doing sunday night services for 24 years and i can remember we we had a small building on grove there in the city of ontario sat 120 people and i remember that very well because it sat 120 it was never filled up but we were going through genesis and it was well attended and we got into exodus and they made an exodus and we went from the hundred plus that we used to have it went down to like 60 and and then one day i said you know what the bible says we ought to serve the lord and many of you aren't serving we're caring for your children but you ought to get busy and help and the next week we didn't need any more help because half of those people stopped coming to bible studies yes i had the nerve to actually say they ought to serve the lord and watch their kids once in a while can you imagine that how how bad am i for suggesting that they actually help and serve the lord and so we had people who left them the church at that time it went down to like a 30 person bible study on a on a sunday night i can remember all of those days some of you can too because as i look out i see some who've been with me from day one and so what happens you just see the hand of the lord and as i walk through this place now we've been on these grounds since 92 as i walk through these grounds and i see what god has done i know that god does remarkable things i have no doubt in my mind that he does i know that god uses ordinary people to do things for him i know that why so that he should get all the glory and that no flesh should glory in his presence these men are being trained to preach the message of redemption to the whole world it's the only plan that god has for reaching this world they've been called to witness and to share they've been called to minister his word to those in need in romans 10 verses 13 through 15 the bible says everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved how then can they call on the on the one they have not believed in and how can they believe in the one of whom they've not heard and how can they hear without someone preaching to them and how can they preach unless they are sent as it is written how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news and so the responsibility of the declaration of the message moves the person to share the love of christ with other people again unremarkable men ordinary people but that's what we are too in 2nd Corinthians 4 7 paul said we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from god and not from us and that's how it works these men are being sent out to preach they have the power to heal sickness cast out demons they're going to partake in the power of god's kingdom and god is going to use them to heal and deliver and so jesus is there teaching them because someone who has been there needs to train them so they understand what they are to do i was laughing today with my my daughter karin and uh you know she's 29 years old and i was remembering when she was maybe three months old you know you can remember those things and i do and i was laughing with her today because we went to buy her her first pair of shoes little boots you know those little boots that you buy for your babies you know marie and i being new parents went out to buy her some boots i still remember going to sears and walking into the children section there and walking into the area that they had these baby shoes and so we started taking shoes and trying to put them on her little baby feet she's three months old and so we're putting these shoes on her feet but but they're not fitting her and we're trying but i don't want to hurt her so we i'd say my goodness her her foot's a lot bigger than it looks and i'd get another one and i'd start to put it on her little foot there and she'd start squirming and i take it off and and i finally got this one shoe that was i mean her foot was maybe two inches and this shoe was like four inches i'm not kidding and i got it and i put it on and i tied it up and i said it fits this shoe fits but when you looked at her little skinny leg is she looked like bozo she looked like a clown with these big old shoes and i'm saying this is amazing and here comes this woman a sales lady and she walks up and she says this is your first baby and and we go yes it is this is our first baby and we're thinking how did she know so she untyes the shoe and she pulls it off and she says you see these shoes have paper in them and she takes the paper out and puts it on this big old shoe and she says so you can take the paper out we needed help we needed help we needed somebody to teach us when Marie began to nurse Corinne in the you know her first baby we had a woman who had nursed several babies who were who was there for Marie who would talk to her and say don't be surprised when this happens and don't be surprised when you feel this and mentored her and how grateful we were you see as young people we got kind of uptight we got like come on now you know this is something natural God created this with this you know here I am as a man telling Marie you can nurse you know I learned from there I'm not to do that either by the way but this woman was so patient and kind she became you know and just a friend to Marie and she could say well honey you're going to feel these things and don't worry about it if you get this way and lo and behold Marie would feel these things and remember what she said and talked to her and she walked her through this so we have valued mentoring for a long time and that's what Jesus is doing guys he's pouring into these men who are going to ultimately take what he poured into them and they are going to pour it into other men and it's going to be that way as a chain throughout the history of the church and they're walking alongside of the Lord Jesus Christ learning to do ministry now in verse 17 he came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon who came to hear him and be healed of their diseases as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits they were healed and the whole multitude sought to touch him for power went out from him and healed them all and so Jesus is now as it says on a level place somewhere in northern Israel and gathered before him are his newly chosen apostles and disciples as well as a crowd of curious people we know that by now Jesus's popularity and fame among the people has become very great Luke has already been alluding to that in his in his gospel now remember in chapter four verses 14 and 15 how he had said Jesus returned in the power of the spirit to Galilee and news of him went out through all the surrounding region and he taught in their synagogues being glorified by all in chapter four verse 37 it says a report about him went out into every place in the surrounding region we see that Jesus's fame is now spreading throughout that area and that's what is taking place now and so these people are coming from various areas they're coming from Judea from Jerusalem they're coming from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon which is up in in the area of modern Lebanon and notice they came they came to hear him as he was teaching and many came that they might be healed they obviously had been hearing reports of him and they wanted to hear for themselves what this rabbi had to say because the things that he was saying were remarkable and and Luke again has already been publishing that for us in Luke 422 all bore witness to him marvel that the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth Luke 432 they were astonished at his teaching for his word was with authority later on when the Pharisees send some officers to arrest Jesus and the Pharisees when these officers come back without him wonder why he didn't bring them their only response in John 746 was no man ever spoke like this man and so there was something about Jesus the eloquence that would proceed from his lips the things that he spoke the way that he would share the way that he was with people there was something about him there was something about him I was talking to our men just yesterday my staff and that's what I was trying to share with them there was something about him there was something about him that was very attractive some of you have been to college and you've had professors who have incredible intellect and education and you are intimidated by them I have been intimidated by their knowledge they have forgotten things that you will never learn and you know that greatly educated sharp minds eloquent speakers and you might be so intimidated by them that that when you're given an opportunity in class to to ask a question you don't raise your hand there's no way you're going to do that because you don't want to look stupid or you've discovered that he has kind of a sharp wit and he may make you look funny so you don't want to raise your hand and ask a question even if it's a very important one so you wait until class is over and you try and corner him for a little while after class and you say you know I wanted to ask you this question because you may be willing to take the chance alone with him but you're certainly not going to make yourself vulnerable in front of a group of people Jesus wasn't like that at all Jesus was not like that at all Jesus was the kind of man and is the kind of person he's our Messiah and he loves us that you could approach and you could speak to him or share with the guys I said when you read the Bible notice how how parents would bring their babies to Jesus that he might bless them and Jesus would actually when the disciples would try and shoo these parents away Jesus would say no you let him come to me and he would take the babies and anybody in this room who's ever had a baby or cared for one knows that small babies are not necessarily the most polite human beings in the world they can make some messes they can make some odd smells Mike my grandson is well anyway he's he's into that right now saying oh guess what I just did and I can already guess as I'm holding him he makes some odd smells sometimes and and they can do that sometimes when I'm holding babies like just this last weekend to dedicate them they get fascinated with my my my microphone or my glasses and and they'll reach over and grab and start pulling on it they're not polite I used to wear a full beard and my babies almost all four of them learned how to stand by grabbing hold of my beard and pulling themselves up they're not the most polite in the world they certainly are not and and you can you can generally generally not always but generally tell someone who's who's fairly kind by the amount of children that like to hang around them Jesus had babies that actually would come to him that he would hold and they might spit up on him and they might do things and he would just hold and his disciples would watch this and they would think how marvelous this one is that can speak with such authority and with such power who can they will learn later command the the wind and the sea and it obeys him what manner of man is this who can raise the dead back to life who can walk on water what manner of man is this who can banish leprosy and open the eyes of the blind and unstop the ears of the deaf what manner of man is this and that's all it was with them and they would spend time with the Lord and they would ask them their questions they would watch him minister and all along he's pouring into them his life so that when they get his word and his power they can take it out and people are gathering multitudes and you have the disciples those who are clinging to everything he has to say you have the apostles who are now being trained in a more formal way and you have this interested group and as they're coming they want to hear what he has to say but they also want to be touched by him because he heals diseases the message of salvation is accompanied with miracles it validates his message acts chapter 222 says as uh as peter was praying preaching says men of israel hear these words Jesus of Nazareth a man attested by God to you by miracles wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst you yourselves also know so they knew that Jesus was doing these remarkable things and therefore they came because they wanted to be touched now notice in verse 19 the whole multitude sought to touch him for power went out from him and healed them all so as fame is spread throughout the region they are now coming to be healed and notice this as they desire to touch him that they might be made well this is the man that reaches out and can touch a leper and a man who is willing to reach out and touch somebody in that condition is a man who's loving enough to heal them and so they came to him that he might reach out and touch them and all they wanted to do is reach out and touch him like that woman with the issue of blood for all those years who thought within herself as Jesus was walking by and she sees him if i but touch the him of his garment i shall be made whole and she though she was an outcast because a woman with an issue of blood was ceremonially unclean and thus was not to have any contact with anybody until her her blood flow had had stopped this woman had had no fellowship with those who are religious for 12 years but she sees jesus and she says within herself if i but just touched the him of his garment i'll be made well and that's what she does and the interesting thing is that jesus stops and as he stops and the whole christian parade comes to a bumping halt he asks the question who touched me and there are his incredibly intellectual disciples who say to him master you see this crowd and you're asking the question who touched me he says someone touched me because i felt virtue i felt power leave me somebody reached up and touched me and the woman came trembling before the lord jesus christ and confessed that it was her this was a woman who knew that though she was not to be doing what she did she was not to be around people because had she bumped into them they could become unclean she said i just know if i touch him i'm going to be made well and you want to know something guys that's still true because if you reach out in faith and you touch him through faith lord i can be made well i can be haul i can be healed my life can be transformed i can be once again brought into society as a transformed a new person healed because of you if you understand that then you would even today reach out and touch him in faith because he's still passing by and you can still reach out and you can still touch him


This is when the narcissist finally gets their karma. One thing you need to remember is that their disorder does not allow them to be successful for long periods of time. It causes them to end up failing suddenly and dramatically. It causes them to break down and fall apart from within. Even if you put the narcissist in the perfect situation, they will find a way to mess it up because they don't learn from their mistakes. They don't adjust to adapt themselves to work better or make themselves more suitable. They often repeat the same issues that cause their loss of power and prosperity. They do the same thing again and again. But it may look like they've moved on. It may look like they're doing great with this new person. But they're a ticking time bomb. It's only a matter of time until they experience the effects of their actions because their disorder will only allow them to experience short term success. If the narcissist you were with has been successful over a long period of time, then maybe you weren't dealing with a full blown narcissist. Because that's the whole point. Narcissists are a problem to themselves and everyone that they are with. They bring disaster and turmoil to whoever they're around. And it soon comes back to get them. No matter how they portray it to be. Beneath the illusion there is a massacre. There is mass destruction. There is drama, chaos and disruption. But you won't always see it because you may not be there and they're only going to show you what they want you to see. But if you were really dealing with a narcissist, you could be sure that whatever happened with you and them, they are going to repeat those same patterns again and again. And it's just never going to stop so you can already predict their future. You should already know what's going to happen based upon how they've treated you. And it may not happen immediately. But in time the patterns of their behavior will come back to haunt them because their behavior produces certain results.  They're stuck on repeat. They don't change. They don't adapt or adjust. They just keep doing what they've always done. Because they don't see that their actions are producing their results. They don't take accountability. They blame everyone else. It's never them. It's never their fault. There's always someone else to blame. Even if they do manage to change their behavior, it will only be for a short period of time. And then they will go back to being reckless and careless. They will become depressed and they will be looking for sympathy. Until someone believes in their lies and delusions and decides to give them a chance. And then they bring the narcissist back to their self-inflating self again where they feel like they are more impressive, successful and important than they really are. Where they make self-inflating claims that are demonstratively untrue. And then that will go wrong. So then they have to hurry up and desperately find someone else to uplift them because what they're actually doing is they are running from their karma. They are trying to escape it. They're trying to escape the consequences of their own actions by using people to regulate their emotions. But everything they try to establish just ends up falling apart because they don't see the issues they're causing. Which is why they don't even try to correct it. Before it comes back to get them because they're so wrapped up in their own reality. They're so wrapped up in their own self-interest and needs so they don't even see the big picture. They don't see what is going on outside of their own situation outside the point of their fixation. They only see what they are focused on which is why they often end up struck by surprise. They never make a decision or take positive action. They never begin to live in a good and sensible way because they never try to correct the things that are harming them and the people around them. Which is why all they've got to show for their lives is they path for destruction from their past. But sometimes they will run into co-dependence who become their enablers. And these types of people will stick with them no matter what. No matter what they're going through. No matter what they've done. Which is why you may not see the narcissists experiencing the effects of their actions because their enabler is taking the fall for them. And they deliberately seek out these types of people because they already know that karma is coming for them. So they're looking for people to take the fall for them. They're looking for people to bail them out. And this person may not always be a relationship partner. It could be a family member or friend. But if they have this type of person in their lives it may seem like they're doing okay because they have someone to depend on. They have someone to keep them out of difficulty. But narcissists are impolite and bad-mannered. So after some time they become annoying. People no longer want to deal with them. So even if they have found a co-dependent eventually even that type of person will want to get rid of them. Because no one wants to deal with that. No one wants to be around it for long periods of time. And when they were younger they might have gotten away with it. But the older they get the less patient people become. Until their lives end up in shambles. They experience all sorts of problems and setbacks. So many failures and disappointments. Until they finally end up alone. They end up on the streets when shared accommodation. Because they never tried to correct the things that later become a problem for them in the future. Thank you for watching.

Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you my top 10 makeup picks for spring. So if you are interested in seeing the products that I picked out, then just keep watching. I'm so excited for today's video because it's in collaboration with my friend here on YouTube, Erin. Her channel is called Erin Nicole TV. I will be sure to link her channel down below. So we both decided that we are going to pick our top 10 makeup products for spring for this collaboration. I have collaborated with Erin in the past and it was such a good time that we wanted to do it again. If you aren't familiar with her channel, she is a high end luxury beauty channel. And what I really like about her channel is that she does a lot of luxury brands that I do not cover. She covers fragrance and fashion as well. She is just so elegant and poised. And I think her channel just brings a very happy energy that I love to watch. You know, if you are into luxury products, you're going to love her channel. She knows her stuff when it comes to luxury products. She has great taste and if you like sparkly, glitter, pink, anything like that, you're going to love her channel. So I will be putting her channel down below for you guys to check out. Make sure you subscribe and comment on her video that I sent you. But I love Erin. She's so sweet and I love her channel so much. I watch all of her videos. So I want to send you guys her way because you will not regret it. I don't know what she picked out, but these are the products that I picked out. Her and I have similar but different tastes in products. She definitely is a lot more into like YSL, Chanel, Dior. I have pieces from those brands, but she really is an expert in that area. So she definitely is knowledgeable in areas that I am not. Let's go over the products that I personally picked out. So my idea of spring makeup is like a light, fresh, pink, pastel kind of face. So I love lighter, brighter colors for the spring. Now of course I don't always stick to such a color palette, but it is really fun to play in those types of colors in the spring and bring out the spring mood especially now in this time that we are living in. So I picked a lot of fun spring products that I know I'm excited to wear for this upcoming season. So first I want to talk about a foundation and I am going to absolutely love this foundation for spring. This is the Bite Beauty Changemaker Super Charge Micellar Foundation. Now what I love about this foundation is it is so skin like. It's not like a tinted moisturizer. It has more coverage, but really it looks like skin when you put it on your face. It gives you a medium coverage. It can be built up a little bit, but I just love this for spring because it is so natural and it really goes well with a fresh faced kind of makeup look because you can see your skin underneath. It feels extremely lightweight. It's moisturizing for the summer months and I just really like it. I can't even feel it on my face. It's what I'm wearing today and it just really perfects your skin while still having your skin show through. So I think that this is the perfect foundation for spring as it's getting warmer. You have a very lightweight foundation on your skin. It looks like skin and it's going to pair very well with the other products that you choose for spring. So this for sure is my choice in a foundation. For me, my ideal spring look is all about bright pink cheeks. So I do have quite a few cheek products to share with you guys because for me in the spring, I'm all about bright, rosy pink cheeks. So the first product that I chose, I'm going to be using this and abusing it all spring and this is the Natasha Denona Bloom Palette. This came out last spring and that says a lot that I am still going to bring it out this spring. Now in here, you're getting a glow cream product, a cream blush, a duo glow highlighter, and a glow stream highlighter. Now I have featured this on my channel a ton of times so I didn't demo it for you today but truly this is how you can get the bright, peachy glow to your cheek all spring. Of course you can go natural with it as well. The product that stands out to me here that I truly love is the cream blush. Now it does look very scary but when you put it on your cheeks, it just gives you a very bright, youthful looking cheek and you can layer all of these different high lady type of colors to really give an extra glow. So overall when I think of a nice spring cheek, this is what I think of and this really brings the look that I'm going for so I still, to this day, I'm still recommending the Natasha Denona Bloom Palette. Let's cover the blush that I am wearing today. This is a newer formula and this is from MAC and you guys have probably heard a lot about these but these are the Glow Play Blushes and I love these. These will probably be in my favorites this month. Now I only own two colors. The color that I am recommending to you for spring specifically is no shame and it looks very scary but if you want it to be lighter I would suggest using a brush. That is what I have on my cheeks today to give me this very natural pink flush. It is a gorgeous blush. It can be built up if you want something a little bit more deep like this color. I like using a sponge. I find that gives me a little bit more coverage or even a finger. These are a very unique formula. They're kind of like putty. You can press into it and I really like it a lot. I didn't think I would like a formula like this but the finish on the skin is beautiful.  It's not something shiny. It's glowy so it gives you a very youthful appearance. It makes your cheeks look more plump and smooth in a good way and there are so many other colors if you aren't into this color. Another color that I recommend which is the only other color that I have is grand if you're into a little bit more of a pinky peach shade. That's more natural. This is also very beautiful but specifically for the spring I'm loving no shame. I think it is so fun. The next two items for the cheeks. These should be of no surprise for you. I've talked about this being my favorite cheek combination and it's just the perfect spring cheek. So we're going to start off with the blush and this is the Dior Backstage Blush in Rosy Glow. I would have worn it for you today but I've already done so many demos using this blush but it's just a matte bright pink blush. If you don't like pink blush you're not going to like this. They do have a coral one that's also very pretty but again for the spring it's about pink for me and I think this is the perfect spring blush color. It doesn't have any shine to it as well so if you don't like a glowy blush this is a great way to go. Just because it's not glowy doesn't mean it's not great for spring. This is the perfect spring shade. It's not as obnoxious as it looks in the pan. It's actually quite natural on the cheek and I've been saying this about this product but if you love a pink blush you need to have this in your collection. It is a beautiful shade. And to go with that is my current favorite highlighter especially for spring. This is also from Dior and this is from their spring collection which by the way their spring collection all of the items are perfect for spring. The eyeshadow palettes are great spring colors as well but the highlighter is what stood out the most to me for this collection. So this is the highlighter in rosy vibes. They do have another one that I think is more suitable for deeper skin tones but for me I'm loving rosy vibes a lot. It's the highlighter that I have on today but these two together are also incredible. This is the most beautiful pink highlighter that I own. I think sometimes I can feel a bit intimidated by pink highlighters because it's too pink but this is the perfect combination of pink enough to blend in with your blush but also natural enough to seem like a normal glowy highlighter. So if you're into natural highlights this is a great way to wear pink with your highlights especially if you enjoy pink blushes because this brings another element to the blush as well. And Dior has absolutely the best highlighter formula in my opinion. I just love this blush. It's everything. This is definitely one of my favorite highlighters that I own in my collection so that should tell you something. I love this highlight so much. So now it's time to move on to the eyes. Now I do plan on doing a whole separate spring eyeshadow palette video for you guys but I did want to put one in. This is my top pick for the spring. Every time I think of spring I think of this palette and this is from Vizier. This is the Kwee palette and when I first got this palette I wasn't too sure about it but as I dug into it I am in love with this palette. I will link down below a video of me using the Kwee palette and showing you different ways that you can use it but you can use these just dry all over your eyelid for a very pretty kind of more pastel pink look. I mean these are all Easter kind of colors perfect for spring but if you want a wash of color which is something that I'm very into for spring you can use this palette. Now I didn't use this palette for today's look but just so you can get an idea of that wash of color you could use this shade or this shade and you can do any type of wash with these colors. It's truly beautiful but if you really want to amp this palette up use it on top of either a white base or a black base or any colored base to be honest and this is going to amplify that base color. So check out my video on this if you're interested in seeing how base colors affect this palette but this palette is so versatile but when it comes to spring I love this palette for just a simple wash of color and I think this palette really runs under the radar but it's one of my favorites and it's perfect for spring so this is definitely one of my top eyeshadow palettes for spring that I recommend you try out. So let's talk about what I am wearing on my eyelids right now and I think these are perfect for spring. These are from Kaja and these are the Moon Crystal sparkling eye pigments and I only have one shade but definitely feel free to check out all of the other shades but personally the shade is also the perfect spring color. I love Lilacs and this is a shade Mystical and this is what I have all over my lid right now as you can see it's a sheer ear color but it gives you that glittery sparkly spring finish on the eyelid and I just have a little bit of bronzer underneath in my crease and then I put this right on top. I love this for spring because of how well it stays put during the warmer weather and how easy and fresh it looks on the eyelid. It's super easy to apply and it gives you a very bright fresh effect on the eyelid and overall these types of products are really beautiful for spring. They have a lot of other great colors that would be perfect for spring. I only own this color and I'm perfectly happy with that because I definitely plan on rocking this simple eye look for spring using this product so I had to put this in here. Next I want to talk about eyeliners so I am recommending that you go onto Colourpop and look at their gel eyeliner sets so I have bought I believe this set is called the Star Cross Vault and I purchased that set because it had a lot of unique pencil liners that I didn't have in my collection. I love using fun colored eyeliner in my waterline for spring looks. Right now I have the Good Reef bright pink eyeliner in my waterline and I think that it's so fun for spring if you pop a blue, a purple, a yellow. It's very subtle and it's very fun. Right now the set that I have which is called the Star Cross Vault it is sold out but they do have a lot of other vaults or you can just look into buying individual colors that you're interested in. I didn't want to spend too much money for colors that I'm going to put in my waterline but I don't do it very frequently so I think a Colourpop set is the best way to go because they're cheap, they work great and they have some of the best colors that any brand has to offer.  I honestly really like it so I had to put my Colourpop cream gel eyeliners in this video. So finally I have two lip products to talk about with you guys. For spring I love bright lips or shiny lips or anything really just pretty and soft. So I picked one bright color and one soft color. So the first one that we have is from Shantakai and this is the lipstick in Tulip. Now I've had this for a long time. I love this lipstick for spring and it's almost like a hot pink red shade. So if you want to keep a fresh face with just a mascara and a little bit of this color on the lips it's beautiful. Now you can actually get a softer bright lip if you just tap it onto the lips and blend it out or as I show you in my demo I did give it full pigmentation. So this is just such a fun color for spring. You can't really tell if it's hot pink or red and Shantakai is such a luxe brand so this is a really fun lipstick to have. This is a beautiful color and the last color that I chose for spring is the color that I'm wearing right now and this is from Charlotte Tilbury and this is her superstar lips I believe these are called and this is in the Shade Happy Lips. It's what I'm wearing right now and I really like this because it's a sheer glossy color. I was worried that they weren't selling this anymore but she is thank goodness but I love it because it's so moisturizing on the lips so it looks juicy and this is such a pretty wearable color for spring. I love this formula from Charlotte. I just think it's so wearable and easy to throw on and so extremely comfortable and this is probably going to be my go-to spring color because it's going to go with so many different looks. So there you have it. Those are my top 10 makeup picks for the spring season. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope you pick up some of these products if you are interested in them to see another set of great spring products definitely go check out Erin's channel.
