Word is up lads. This is going to be the Warlock, Biss, Talents and Runes Guide and once again I'm going to try and keep this nice and short for you. We're going to start out with the Biss list. This is going to be the gear that is going to be from what we can see the best for PvP at level 25 until some more gear becomes available from BFD. We don't know everything that's coming out yet. So that's the reason for some of the Eagle items. We're mostly going to be focusing on getting good stamina and some intellect. So we're going to start out with a lucky fishing hat, Spectral Necklace of the Eagle, Sage's Mantle of the Eagle, Cutthroat's Cape of the Eagle and then the Clamweave Tunic from BFD. Durable Bracers of the Eagle, Crescent Staff, Raincooler Mitz of the Eagle, Gamurra's Cinch, Watcher's Leggings of the Eagle, Extra Plain and Spider Silver Boots, Seal of Sylvanas. The stamina on it is just really nice even though it's got strength on it. Plains ring, again really nice stamina but quite rare. You can go for an Eagle ring here if you can't get it. Arena Grandmaster and Insignia of the Horde with the Dancing Flame Wand. For talents for Warlock at 25 we're going to be looking at both Destro and Affliction. Starting out with Destro, we're going to be running 5 out of 5 Imp Corruption to make it instant. Then we're going to be running 5 out of 5 Imp Shadowbolt, 5 out of 5 Bane and 1 out of 1 Shadowburn. For the Runes we're going to be running Demonic Tactics but there's definitely an option to run Lake of Fire as well potentially. We're going to be running Incinerate on the Legg Room and then we're going to be running Metamorphosis on the Hand Room. This is going to make us a lot tankier overall and make Searing Pain instant. It's going to make your Shadowbolt into a melee Shadowcleave but it can still proc Improved Shadowbolt which means your Shadow Spells are going to do more damage so Corruption and Agony. This can also be substituted for Chaosbolt if you're feeling like playing more aggressively and you don't think you need the tankiness of Meta. You're also going to have the potential to play Affliction at level 25 and while I feel it's slightly weaker than Deathstroke it's still going to be decent due to how strong Meta looks like it's going to be. We're going to take 1 out of 5 Suppression assuming that we're going to get the last 1% hit from the boots. Going Imp Corruption, 2 out of 2 Imp Lifetap, 2 out of 5 Imp Drain Life to get it to the next tier, Improved Curse of Agony and then Amplify Curse and then we're going to put the last 2 points in Demonic Embrace to make us a bit tankier with that extra stamina. For the Runes we're going to run Master Channeler to make our Drain Life instant as a dot. Then on the Leg Rune we're going to run Incinerate, the Everlasting Affliction talent not looking that strong but if you don't want to play with Incinerate you can use that as well.


Good afternoon and welcome. We're coming to you from day two of the Fiji Symposium in Bangalore. The platform for all dialogue on financial inclusion. And with me today is Mr. Piyush Kumar, Joint Secretary, DBT Mission Cabinet Secretary at. Welcome, sir. And thank you for being part of the Fiji Symposium. The Fiji Symposium is the first ever of its kind. It's happening in India. Yeah, I believe it's a very good platform to bring all together different participants on a platform. The morning session was quite insightful and very well given the fact that some very impressive gains have been, you know, are being worked out, experimented in India. I think it is only opportune that India was selected as the first, you know, for the first for conference India was selected and that to Bangalore. This has been a good conference. There has been a lot of participants who have, you know, different ideas have come and that way for India and for globally also this will be quite helpful in furthering the financial inclusion. When it comes down to the potential of digital financial services, what exactly is it for it to increase financial inclusion? You see, potential is in fact very high as a welfare state. The government itself spends a huge amount of money on various welfare and subsidy programs. So, you know, annually almost about the government of India, India's budget itself almost about 25 percent is directly for the subsidy programs and welfare combined. And similarly, if you take the state and government, central government together, almost nearly around 4 percent of the total GDP is what really, I mean, we are spending in this field. The problem has been there. It has been quite sometime there, you know, in 80s itself it was coined that a single rupee, every rupee that is sent down, you know, huge amount, only a very marginal portion of it reaches the deserved, the targeted group. Essentially, direct benefit transfer is an attempt to bring all the technological advancements to one level where government services and subsidy programs can be targeted to the deserving people. So, in that sense, you know, a lot of things are happening. And it has really redefined the way government can approach deserving the targeted class people in a direct way. Also, when it comes down to the world's poor people or even from our country, what do you think is the reason for them to prefer digital financial services that are being offered over the traditional methods of cash? There are two ways. In fact, the preference, of course, is that once digital cash system has a direct accessibility. So, in some sense, you become owner of your, you know, whatever benefits are coming. In the, if you look at the largest employment guarantee program, the Manrega, when the cash is given, the holding of that cash and the manner in which it has to be spent. And again, because of the, you know, rent seeking behavior, one was not sure how much money will be coming in. With direct transfers coming to the bank, to that extent, there is a sense of security that whatever is my, you know, whatever is my due, I will be getting. So, in that sense, it is a great, this thing. And there has been very positive, you know, support to the direct benefit transfer in that sense. But of course, the limiting factor again is that the brick and mortar branches are limited. And therefore, if you substitute one, at least earlier system, the panchayats or the local government offices were locally available. The banks many times may be further away. So, if an, on average, in a rural India, if you look at 25 kilometers to 40 kilometers, if the bank branch is there, then to travel that much becomes difficult. So, what has to be done is that the advantage of digital for, to harness the potential of digital financial inclusion, the financial services have to reach to two steps. That is where, you know, a lot of things are happening and which have been today's subject of discussion also. Correct. And when it comes down to the next steps of the DBT mission, what exactly is it? The direct benefit transformation, when we were designing since very early, you know, as I was discussed also in the inaugural session, it was very lookingly brought out, that the bank accounts, the Aadhar as a digital identity and the mobile telephony, all of these in India are billion plus. So, it is a huge database that, the potential that has been created. And in a very short period of time or a period of seven, eight years, a lot of this revolution has taken place. So, in some sense, combining these three together, which is called the Jam Trinity. So, Jandan, Aadhar and mobile combination provides as a platform or provides are the three pillars on which direct benefit transfer can be designed. Essentially, direct benefit transfer is reaching out to people directly, to the targeted people or to deserving people using these technology platforms, both in the subsidies and the welfare programs. So, today, Government of India has taken up that almost all the, you know, subsidy programs and welfare program of Government of India are being increasingly programmed on these technology platforms. And Government of India is also working closely with the state governments to ensure that these state level platforms, the state level schemes also, or funds which are transferred from central government to the state government are also brought on this platform. Okay, that's great. Thank you so much for your time. So, thank you so much.


Y syniad wybodaeth ddiddordebol yn yw rhywbeth. Rhy superhero Mercedes-AM I'm delighted to be present in this wonderful Scottish Parliament. Scotland is a nation of great men and women from William Wallace to Andy Murray, Sarales Ferguson to Rene McIntosh, and of course Robert Byrn, the man of words, the poet. Words have a power. Words are read. Reading is a great way of leading an intelligent life that supports democracy, promotes respect of human rights. We read books for players and sometimes to pass the time. And sometimes that makes us smarter. We read religious books for getting instructions that will help us live a good life, to experience the closeness, the proximity and the love of the God. As legislators, you make laws, you know why it is important, it's the basis of just society. Law appeals to reason, it makes sense. The Quran is also a book of law, but more importantly it teaches us moral values. Rules that determine the way you think are state of mind that leads to good actions. An attitude to kind so that we can practice the moral values of kindness, patience and forgiveness. The Quran likes the gospels is full of such moral teachings. The Muslim families like majority of Scottish people are deeply concerned about preserving and transmitting the traditional moral values because we want kind and caring citizens in future. Moral values are fundamental for a flourishing and healthy human society. The Quran uses various styles of teaching, morality and instructions and by storytelling. It promotes these values by telling stories of great masters, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace be upon him all. Life is in our smart phone time where the society has more challenges. It's fast moving social media influences our mood and lives, creating fear and insecurity, unrealistic sense of independence, yet the interdependency is the reality of the society. This is what moral and spiritual values of Quran describe page after page cooperation and working together. Psychologists are saying that people are suffering from moral confusion. Many people are lost and they are hopeless. Other lacks a sense of meaning and purpose of life. They have trouble in distinguishing right from the wrong.  The Quran is a manual, a guide for our worldly life. The Quran, Friday afternoon before the congregation prayers, we read this verse from the pulpit just like the Imam here in Scotland, they read all, people listen. God commands justice, generosity and giving to the relatives or those who are needy. He forbade in decency all kinds of evil and cruelty. He teaches you so, so you will live a good life, that is chapter 90 of Holy Quran. The Quran in plain English has been presented to you all as a complimentary copy that was posted earlier on. I hope you have all received it. Please enjoy reading it and capture it James, Saviar, Iqbalz and God bless you all. Thank you so much.


The title of our sermon this morning, Assured by God, our primary text, 2 Peter chapter one, verses one through 11. If you are saved, if you are saved, you're not saved because of anything that you did. I think the scripture is pretty clear about that. Not a prayer that you said, not a decision that you made, not a doctrine that you believe, not a thing that you've done. If you are truly saved from sin, saved from the wrath of God, then you are not saved on the basis of any work that you have done, but entirely upon the basis of the work of another. The deplorable, the inexcusable theology of much of the professing church today has a vast majority of professing Christians believing that their salvation is predicated on a decision that they themselves have made. When salvation is predicated exclusively on a decision that God has made. Now we know this from the clear and inarguable testimony of scripture. If someone is genuinely a Christian, then they have been born again. They've been born from above, as John would say. That new birth is not of blood. In other words, it doesn't matter what family or race you were born into. That new birth is not of the will of the flesh. In other words, it's not produced by human desire or human merit or human effort. And that new birth is not of the will of man. It's not produced by man's determination or by man's decision. The Christian is born, as John would say, of God. God chose us in Jesus Christ before the foundation of the world. God predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself. God makes us alive in Christ when we were dead in trespasses and sins. The Lord says that those whom he foreknew, he also predestines. Those whom he predestines, he also calls. Those whom he calls, he also justifies. And those whom he justifies, those he also glorifies. Bible says, for by grace, you have been saved through faith. And that salvation by grace through faith, and including the faith through which that salvation by grace comes, is not of yourselves it. Salvation by grace through faith is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast. So when someone comes to acknowledge their sin, to acknowledge their wickedness against a holy God, when they repent and turn from their sin and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, often the question that will come crashing in upon their heart and mind is, how do I know that God has done all of that for me? Am I saved? It's a humbling position to be put. You consider that God is the one who does all the work. It is entirely and all of grace. Humble's the sinner. Well, we must also assert from the clear and inarguable testimony of scripture that that faith, which is the gift of God, will bear the marks of his workmanship upon it. If it comes from God, it'll bear the marks of his workmanship, amen? The faith through which God saves is a repentant faith. It's a faith that turns from sin. The faith through which God saves is an obedient faith. It will strive to please him in all that it does. It's an affectionate faith. It's a devoted faith. It's a loving faith. It's a hope filled faith. It's a joy filled faith. The faith through which God saves is a working faith. The faith through which God saves is a living faith. It's a fruitful faith. It's a growing faith, a maturing faith. It's a sin battling flesh mortifying faith. It's a persevering faith and enduring faith. It's not a perfect faith, but it is an enduring, a lasting, a persevering faith. And often the question that will come crashing in upon our heart and mind is this, how do I know that my faith is that kind of faith? How do I know that my faith is a saving faith? Am I a Christian? The grace of God that is at work in the life of a genuine believer. That grace of God teaches the genuine Christian to deny ungodliness. That's what that grace does. It teaches us to deny worldly lusts. The grace of God teaches us to live soberly, to live righteously, to live godly in this present age. That's what the grace of God in salvation does. Paul says it's a grace that reigns through righteousness. It's a grace that has delivered us not only from the penalty of sin, but it's a grace that has also delivered us from the power of sin and increasingly delivers us from the presence of sin. It's a grace that enlivens. It's a grace that enables. It's a grace that empowers. It's a grace that exhorts us. It's not a grace by which God nearly changes our eternal destiny, but it is a grace by which God is at work in my life now to change me. And often the question that will come crashing in upon our heart and mind when we consider these things is this. How do I know that God has poured out that kind of grace upon me? How do I know that I'm a Christian? Am I saved? Is my faith genuine? Has God done a work of grace in my heart? Am I one whom God has predestined from before the foundation of the world? Has my name been written in the Lamb's book of life there before creation? These are serious. They are sobering and they are eternally significant questions. And they are questions that pertain to the Christians assurance. In asserting the nature of a true and saving faith we acknowledge the reality of a false and a damning faith. You get that? When we assert that the scriptures speak of a true and a saving faith we are also acknowledging the truth of the Bible that there is such a thing as a false and a damning faith. How do I know that my faith is true? How do I know that my faith is real? These are questions of the Christians assurance. In asserting the presence of a work of God's grace in the life of a believer and that supernatural work we also acknowledge the presumption upon grace that is the vain profession of the unbeliever. How do I know that God has done a work in my heart? How do I know that God is at work to willing to do in me according to his good pleasure? Vast innumerable multitudes, masses of people have gone to the grave presuming upon the grace of God. Masses of people, a vast innumerable multitude has gone already gone to perdition presuming upon the grace of God. Confident in a sham profession of faith. Confident that Jesus Christ has saved them without the slightest doubt that they will spend an eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ believing in their heart that he is theirs and that they are his and that they will spend an eternity with him. And all without any evidence of being born again all without any evidence of a living thriving faith all without any evidence of a wonder working grace. Many would say, listen, I don't need to worry about assurance. I don't need to worry about assurance. I'm assured already. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, right? Christ did all the work, I believe in him. That's what he does, that's what I do. I would be foolish to doubt what he has done. No, what's foolish is to presume that what he has done applies to you without testing and without evidence that it is so. Without testing your faith to know that it is genuine and true and saving faith. Your heart is deceitful, Jeremiah says so. Your heart is deceitful. Above all things deceitful and desperately wicked. You have an enemy in your own breast. Jeremiah says, who can know it? You can't know your own heart. Peter calls Christians to be even, calls Christians, calls brothers, brethren, to be even more diligent to make your call and election sure. Because if you do these things, you will never stumble. First John is a series of tests by which you may examine the genuineness of your faith. And then John writes, after having examined your faith through the letter, the epistle of First John, John writes these things I have written so that you may know that you have eternal life. Paul exhorts us, test yourself. Whether you're even in the faith, test yourselves. A.W. Pink tells the story of a man who lived through an economic depression in England. And during this economic downturn, the banks in England were failing. So people, when the banks started to fail, the people started to panic. And many lost confidence in the banks and so there was naturally a run on the banks and this man, a very wealthy man, decided to withdraw all his money from the bank. So he took his money out in five pound notes, pound sterling, and he had a friend exchange the cash for gold coins. Then he took his gold coins and he hid them in a place where he knew that no one would find them. All his wealth, all his savings, all that he had, all that he'd earned, all that he materially possessed, wrapped up, hidden away with those gold coins. Wasn't long before this man needed to buy some supplies. And so he went to his secret stash and took out some of the gold coins. He went from one shop to another, attempting to buy supplies and none of the shops would accept the gold coins because they were counterfeit. The wealthy man, the one who thought he was wealthy, in a panic went back to his hiding place to look at the rest of the coins and he realized that all of the coins were counterfeit. A man who thought that he was wealthy wasn't. He lost everything. Many, listen to me, many people walk this earth believing themselves to be in possession of heavenly riches. They walk this earth believing themselves to possess something that they do not possess. And you know, I know exactly what we're talking about here. That was many of us before the Lord intervened with grace poured out on us. He poured out on us in Jesus Christ to save us from that wretched condition. And that comes at the preaching of the gospel. It's the duty of every informed and blood-bought believer to preach that truth to unbelievers, to those who are deceived. Vast innumerable multitudes will perish and drop into torment believing as that wealthy man did that they are in possession of something that they are not in possession of.  How do you know that your faith is real? How do you know that you are genuinely saved? How do you know that you are in possession of a genuine faith? How do you know that you are in possession of heavenly riches in Jesus Christ? I'm a sinner.  We deal with our sin on this side of our eternity. We deal with our sin in this life.  How do I know that I'm forgiven? How do I know that Christ has saved me? These are questions that pertain to the Christian's assurance. An assurance of salvation that grows out of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, there's a spectrum of opinion on the matter of assurance, and we'll consider the spectrum of opinion, men's worthless opinions, and then we'll go to the Bible to know what the truth is. There's a spectrum of opinion on the matter of assurance. On one end of the spectrum, there are those who would say to you that it is the sin of presumption, that it's always presumptuous to ever claim to have a full assurance that you are saved no matter what may come. Those words are important no matter what may come. Roman Catholicism, for example, rejects the teaching of the Bible that once a sinner is genuinely saved, he cannot lose his salvation. That once a sinner is genuinely saved, he cannot lose his salvation. Now there are many who absolutely abuse that beautiful truth with a horribly unbiblical version of once saved, also saved. And we would like to add to that that once genuinely saved, once truly saved, then always saved. And that's the teaching of the Bible. The Bible teaches eternal security, the Bible teaches the perseverance or the preservation of the saints. But Roman Catholicism rejects the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. Roman Catholicism rejects the doctrine of eternal security, and so they reject that. A believer may come to a full in what our confession calls an infallible assurance of salvation. They reject the Bible's teaching of assurance as presumptuous because men cannot possibly trust themselves to be faithful. That's true, you can't trust yourself. I can't trust myself to be faithful. Praise God, our faith isn't in our own effort. They would say that full assurance is not wrong because it puts too much faith in God. They would say that full assurance is wrong because it puts too much faith in ourselves. Well, that would be exactly right if it were up to us to preserve ourselves. That would be exactly right if it were up to us to grit it out in our own effort to persevere as it is in the Roman Catholic heresy. But according to the Bible, we don't preserve ourselves. We're not preserved in our own effort. We do not hold ourselves.  How eternal is it if you can lose it? I give them eternal life and they shall probably not perish. They shall never perish. Listen, we can have assurance of that. We can have a full assurance that we have presently eternal life and that we shall never perish. Neither, Jesus says, neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My father who gave them to me is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of my father's hand. I and my father are one. We are assured that we are saved in Christ. We can have an assurance of that fact. London Baptist Confession of Faith, 1689, our confession. Chapter 18 of the assurance of grace and salvation in article one, our confession says, although temporary believers and other unregenerate men, temporary believers are unregenerate, you see. Although temporary believers and other unregenerate men may vainly deceive themselves with false hopes and with carnal presumptions of being in the favor of God and in the state of salvation, which hope of theirs shall perish, yet such as truly believe in the Lord Jesus and love him in sincerity, endeavoring to walk in all good conscience before him, may in this life be certainly assured that they are in a state of grace. On the other end of the spectrum, on one end of the spectrum, those who think that any assurance at all is presumption. On the other end of the spectrum, there are those who would say that assurance of your salvation belongs to the essence of faith. In other words, true faith involves a settled assurance at the very outset. If I say I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, then that is assurance of your salvation, you should never doubt it, right? This was a part of the marrow controversy. If you remember that, the marrow men debated this issue and a knowledge of God's saving disposition toward us based solely and only on the truth of the freely given promises in Christ. In other words, when you turn to Christ in faith, you should immediately have full assurance of your salvation and infallible assurance of your salvation based upon the work of Christ and the promises of Christ alone. Now, those who believe this might tell you don't ever doubt it. Maybe you've heard that before, I have many times. Don't ever doubt your salvation. They're not concerned with fruits or evidences. Don't ever doubt your salvation. If you ever doubt your salvation, it's the devil who's making you doubt, right? Satan is making you doubt. That may sound good at first blush, but it seems to me that Satan most often is involved in the work of keeping you from doubt, not causing you to doubt, right? Article two of our confession upholds the initial thought of that. Article two says this certainly is not a bear. Assurance is not a bear conjectural and probable persuasion grounded upon a fallible hope, but assurance is an infallible assurance of faith founded upon the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ revealed in the gospel, amen. And if that's all that our assurance was based on, then full assurance of salvation would be of the very essence of faith. When you come to believe in Jesus Christ for those promises, then you should have full assurance of faith, but that's not all. Our confession continues. Our assurance is also based upon the inward evidence of those graces of the spirit unto which the promises are made. That statement, unto which the promises are made, we are saved to holiness. Like we talked about last week, we are saved to good works which God determined beforehand that we should walk in them, right? It's the purpose of our salvation, our election that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. So salvation, assurance of salvation is also based upon the inward evidence of those graces of the spirit unto which the promises are made. And on the testimony of the spirit of adoption, witnessing with our spirits that we are the children of God and as a fruit thereof, keeping the heart both humble and holy. On the issue of assurance, the Puritan, John Rogers, taught that true faith involved a particular persuasion of my heart that Jesus Christ is mine. In part, assurance of salvation is believing upon the promises of Jesus Christ in the gospel, that Jesus Christ died, that if you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ that you can be forgiven of your sin, saved from sin and the wrath of God, delivered from that and ushered into given eternal life. But John Rogers taught that true faith also involved a personal persuasion of that, that it's not just for mankind in general, but that he died for me. Whatsoever Christ did for the redemption of mankind, he did it for me. It is mine and he did that work in and for me. Now that assurance may take some time. The London Baptist Confession of Faith in Article 3 says this, this infallible assurance does not so belong to the essence of faith, but that a true believer may wait long, right? A true believer may not have it at the very beginning of faith, at the very inception of his faith, at the very outset of faith, but a true believer may wait long in conflict with many difficulties before he be a partaker of it. Yet being enabled by the Spirit to know the things which are freely given him of God, he may, without extraordinary revelation, in the right use of means attain there unto. The term infallible that's given in our confession comes from a compound Latin word that means not deceiving, means not deceiving. It's a faith that's not deceptive. It's not a false counterfeit faith that deceives you, right?  It's an assurance that every believer can have. It's an assurance that every believer is called to pursue. Let's talk about that. We're in 2 Peter chapter one. Look in 2 Peter chapter one, beginning at verse one, the text read in your hearing. Now as Peter, as Peter sits to write this letter, Peter's aware that his time is short and that he will likely very soon die. The concern of this letter is really parting words of the apostle Peter to strengthen believers in the faith, to serve them up by way of reminder that said several times throughout the letter and to prepare them, prepare the church for attacks that are most certainly coming. Peter is giving them parting words. False teachers will come in among them, chapter two, verse one. They will bring in destructive heresies. They will seek to exploit them with deceptive words. Scoffers are gonna come mocking the truth, chapter three, verse three. The Lord will deal with all of them, but it's through their influence that many are brought into bondage, that many are eternally lost, chapter two, verse 20. Peter wants them to be on their guard against these false teachers, these destructive heresies that will creep into the church. So in the time that Peter has left in this letter that will be his last letter that he writes, what is Peter's concern at the very outset of the letter? It is the assurance of genuine believers. Peter's concern is the assurance of genuine believers. Assurance is necessary to stand fast in the faith. How successfully, how diligently, how earnestly do you fight when you're not even sure you're a Christian? Strength just evaporates, right? Strength is out the window. Steadfastness out the window. Perseverance out the window. We need assurance. We need to grasp and lay hold of these promises so that we may stand fast in the faith. And these folks are gonna have a battle on their hands very soon. Assurance is necessary when you're weathering spiritual battles, waging spiritual warfare, when you're facing persecution, when you're battling spiritual enemies, right? How steadfast, how faithful in the work are you gonna be when the work is difficult, you're facing difficult, you're facing adversity and you're not even sure if I'm a Christian, I'm saved, right? We need assurance. Weak faith makes you an easy target. And that's Peter's concern here. Peter knows that a strong Christian, a persevering Christian is an assured Christian. Paul says that it is the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. It's a shield of faith. So Paul, Peter then gives us three pillars, three pillars of a full or infallible, a not deceiving assurance. And the believer is called to pursue this assurance with all diligence, all diligence. The first pillar is this. Assurance of our salvation begins with a firm foundation in sound doctrine. Assurance of our salvation begins with a firm foundation in sound doctrine. To have assurance of our salvation, we must understand that our right standing with God rests upon the person and work of Jesus Christ alone. We must embrace him and all that he has done for us in faith. So Peter begins with all that God has given to us in Christ, verse one.  Not by our own righteousness, but by his righteousness. Okay? Verse two, grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises that through these, through these great and precious promises, you may be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Now notice with me, verse three, he called us by glory and virtue. The word virtue there means moral excellence. It's by glory and virtue that we've been given exceedingly great and precious promises. Well, by whose glory? By whose virtue? By your own virtue? No, you have none, you had none. Certainly not our own glory, not our own virtue. It's by the glory and virtue of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's by his glory and virtue that we've been given such great and precious promises. He has accomplished all that is necessary for our salvation. And that salvation comes to us through exceedingly great and precious promises. We receive these promises. Those promises become ours through faith in Jesus Christ. And Peter describes them as exceedingly great and precious. Now what are they? What are those exceedingly great and precious promises? There are many of them. They are manifold, right? The forgiveness of sins. Is that not a beautiful promise of the gospel? The forgiveness of your sin. You've been forgiven of your sin in Jesus Christ. Glorious. The imputation of Christ's righteousness.   But I have been given as a gift, as a free gift of God, the righteousness of Jesus Christ. I have it as my own. Such that God looks upon me as righteous. Not that I just avoided the things that I was supposed to avoid, but that I did everything that I was supposed to have done. Amazing. Justification. Reconciliation with God. Right standing with God. God is holy. I am not. And we are made to be at peace through the blood of His cross. God's spirit to take up His dwelling place within us. We are not left orphans. He has come to us by His spirit and dwells in us. We are a dwelling place of the spirit. Adoption as sons and daughters of God. Not just reconciled to God, but brought into His very household as sons and daughters. And listen, not just as red-headed stepchildren, but as heirs. And heirs with Christ. We have an inheritance. Eternal life with Jesus Christ in the new heavens and the new earth. These precious, exceedingly great and precious promises. It's through these promises, verse four, that we've been given two benefits. Through these promises, we have two benefits. One, that we may be partakers of the divine nature. Partakers of the divine nature. Christ in you, the hope of glory. Communion, unfettered by sin and eternity. Communion, fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. And secondly, we escape from the corruption that is in the world through lust. We have been set free from bondage to the power of sin. Created anew, as the Bible says, in true righteousness and in true holiness. So the first pillar, the first pillar of an infallible or full assurance of faith is Christ. In Christ for these promises. We are to put our faith in Jesus Christ for these promises. This isn't bare conjecture. This is not a probable persuasion grounded upon a fallible hope. This is an infallible assurance of faith founded upon the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ revealed in the gospel through which we must believe that we have, present tense, have exceedingly great and precious promises. From there, from that first foundation, Peter moves on to the second pillar of an infallible or full assurance of salvation. Our confession describes this pillar as this, the inward evidence of those graces of the spirit unto which the promises are made. Those promises are given to us that we might be holy in him. We might be holy as he is holy. We were saved two good works, saved to be conformed into the image of his son who is himself holy, right? So it's the inward evidence of those graces at work in us, the graces of the spirit unto which those promises are made. Now Peter references that second pillar or that inward evidence beginning in verse five. Look at verse five. So believer, listen, we're still talking to believers. But also for this very reason, for the very reason that we've been redeemed by Jesus Christ, for the very reason that through him, we have these exceedingly great and precious promises. For this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. All of these are inward workings of grace, do you see? An inward fruit of God's spirit. Peter says here in verse five, bring to bear on your Christian life all diligence. You work out your salvation with fear and trembling, why? Because it is God who is at work in you, both the willing to do according to his good pleasure. Bring to bear on your Christian life all diligence. Employ a zealous and intense fervor to accomplish this purpose. Make every effort is what the word means. Make every effort to add to your faith. Now what does a believer need to do to experience a full and infallible assurance of salvation? Do everything, make every effort, do all that you can do to add to your faith these seven characteristics. When someone comes and says, I'm not sure I'm a Christian, I'm having difficulty. I doubt whether I'm saved, right? And that happens in the life of every believer. Our confession says that's gonna happen in your Christian life. We're gonna struggle with these things. Sometimes we struggle for a long period of time. I remember when I was a new Christian and I was struggling with assurance over my salvation, I read John Bunyan's work, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners. And you read in that book of Bunyan's horrible, difficult battle with assurance of his salvation. And Bunyan was convinced that he didn't wanna presume upon the grace of God. He didn't wanna pick up assurance of salvation as if it were something that he could just choose to believe Bunyan wanted to be assured by God. But Bunyan wanted God to assure him that what he had done applied to him. And Bunyan struggled with assurance of his salvation. When someone struggles with assurance, take Peter's heed here. Put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for all that he has done for sinners.  Turn to Christ in faith for all that he has done and then pursue these marks. Listen to what Peter says. Diligently add to your faith virtue. Don't forget the diligence. Diligently add to your faith virtue, refers to moral excellence. Again, arete. The word really refers to moral heroism. Great feats of piety. An excellent singer. An excellent singer might be referred to as arete. An excellent craftsman might be referred to as arete. Here the word refers to a morally excellent or a virtuous Christian, arete. Turn from your sin, put on the new man that is renewed according to the image of him who created him and do that with all diligence. Jesus Christ is our example. Follow his example, imitate Christ and add to your faith virtue, moral excellence. Diligently add to your moral excellence, knowledge. We talk about this on a regular basis. Diligently add to your moral excellence, knowledge. The word refers to an increasing understanding of divine truth. Increasing discernment, increasing understanding, increasing wisdom, increasing application of that. We must grow in our knowledge of him. The more that we grow in our knowledge of him, the more that we grow as it were in our view of who he is, the more that we grow to be like him. The more that we reflect that image, we must grow in our knowledge of him. Grow in your understanding of good, sound, Biblical doctrine. Don't just settle for cotton candy. Grow in your knowledge of him, grow in your knowledge of theology, grow in your knowledge of the Bible. What we know impacts how we think and how we think impacts what we believe and what we know, how we think, what we believe impacts ultimately how we live, how we conduct ourselves.  Now some knowledge, most knowledge, all knowledge outside of the Bible is not like that. The more that I study, forgive me engineers, the more that I study engineering, that has no impact on my life unless it's gonna help me fix my garbage disposal or a garage door when it breaks down. It's not gonna change who I am, but your knowledge of him will. It is in the work of the Spirit of God, applied in your life to change who you are, to change you into his image. You must grow in your knowledge of him through his word. Proverbs 23, verse seven, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. How do you add knowledge to virtue? You give all diligence to the study of the scriptures. You give all diligence to study. How do you add knowledge to virtue? You meditate on those truths from the word of God. You give yourselves to them. Next, diligently add to your knowledge, self-control. These are building upon one another, right? You see a connection in these. Add to your faith virtue. Don't just say you believe, follow. Live a holy life. Live like Jesus Christ. Those who believe in him, themselves also to walk just as he walked. Add to that virtue, that moral excellence, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and then with that knowledge and wisdom, add to your knowledge, self-control. Diligently add to your knowledge, self-control. It speaks of self restraint. It's through faith, moral excellence, knowledge that you become then more and increasingly self-controlled. It speaks of self-restraint. Much in the way that an athlete might restrain his use of time. Much the way an athlete might restrain his use of food to accomplish a great feat of strength or endurance. Self-control denies self. You're not driven by the flesh. You're not driven by emotions. You're not driven by fleshly desires, fleshly lusts. Add to your knowledge, self-control, self-restraint. Discipline yourself in the use of time. Discipline yourself in the use of resources. Discipline yourself in the use of your own effort, your own gifts. Add to your knowledge, self-control. Diligently add to your self-control, perseverance. Diligently add perseverance, endurance in the faith, endurance in holy living, endurance in study. Once you've implemented self-control, now persevere in it.  Endure in virtue. Endure in faith, endure in knowledge, endure in self-control. Endure in the midst of affliction. Perseverance in the midst of persecution. Maintaining strength, faith, knowledge, virtue, self-control in the midst of adversity. Faith in the midst of suffering. It's not merely resigning yourselves to these things, but it's forward-looking with all those things in your possession. Remember the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. Despising the shame meaning that he counted it a common thing. In comparison with the joy that was set before him, the shame is nothing. I'll gladly endure it. We are to endure with that kind of understanding, that kind of mindset. It's a forward-thinking, a forward-looking perseverance for all that we have in Jesus Christ. All that has been given to us. The inheritance that we look forward to. Heaven, eternity, for all of that, the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ. I can endure, bring it on, right? That needs to be the attitude. Add to your self-control perseverance. Diligently, add to your perseverance, godliness. Godliness is a devotion to Christ's likeness. A devotion to Christ's likeness. God likeness, right? Godliness. Godliness is marked by a reverence for God. God is regarded as holy by those who are godly. And we strive to be holy just as he is holy. Without holiness, no one will see the Lord. Godliness is not leaning on your own understanding, but in all your ways, all of them, godliness is acknowledging him. He is directing your paths. Godliness is constantly aware, constantly thinking, constantly asking, constantly depending, constantly looking to him in faith. Diligently add to your godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. These are linked together. Add to that godliness a genuine Christ-like and sacrificial love. A love that esteems others more highly than yourself. It means investing your time. It means investing your resources to pour into your brothers and sisters that you serve the Lord with. Well, how do you give all diligence, every effort to brotherly kindness and love? How do you do that? You labor in the church. This is how you serve, right? This is how you serve in the body, the one and others. Love bears one another's burdens. Galatians, chapter six, verse two. Look for burdens to bear and go out. Be intentional about it. Love your brothers. Love comforts one another. Who can you comfort? First Thessalonians, chapter four, verse 18. Love stirs one another up to love and good works. How do you do that? Be practical, be intentional. Stir one another up to love. Stir one another up to good works. Let's go guys, right? Stir one another up. Love praise for one another. Love edifies one another. Love corrects, love instructs, love rebukes, love forgives, love is hospitable. Love cares for one another. Love labors to be involved in the life of this church where love can be expressed in action. If you're not laboring in the life of this church where your love can be expressed in action, then you're not acting upon your love. Love preaches the gospel. Love preaches the gospel. This is how you serve in the church. This is how you love. If you want to experience a full and infallible assurance then give all diligence to pursuing these things. Give all diligence, Peter says. Why? Why? Verse eight, this speaks to assurance. Verse eight, for if these things are yours, you possess these marks and they abound in you, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful notice in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's knowledge of Him that produces fruit. John chapter 15 verse one, apart from Him, you can do nothing, nothing. You must abide in Him, you must know Him. A knowledge of Him produces fruit and fruit is the measure that the Lord uses to distinguish between that which is alive, that which is real, that which is genuine and that which is dead. That which is false and that which is damning. If these things are yours and they abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. It'll show, it'll give evidence that you know Him. It'll give evidence that you know Him. Four, verse nine, He who lacks these things is short-sighted, myopic, even to blindness and has forgotten that He was cleansed from His old sins. Those who are unfruitful, now listen to me, we all at one period or another go through periods of time where we are unfruitful. We wax and wane often in our fruitfulness. Why? Because we wax and wane in our devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. We wax and wane in our faith. Why? Because we are still dealing with the flesh on this side of eternity. I'm still dealing with my sin, my sinfulness. We may go through periods of time where we're not as fruitful during that period of time as at other periods of time. But listen, those who persist in unfruitfulness are growing spiritually blind. Those who are unfruitful grow spiritually blind. There's a hymn, it's often sung. Theology of the hymn is somewhat questionable, but the words of the hymn go that, in the light of His glory and grace, the things of this world grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace, the things of this, not in that order, but get the idea. In the light of His glory and grace, the things of this world grow strangely dim. Well, in the darkness of our sin and self-will, the glory of God grows strangely dim. The opposite is also true, do you see? Those who are unfruitful, which means that they are weak in their knowledge of Him. Those who are unfruitful grow spiritually blind. When you increase and abound in these things, then there is evidence of a work of God's grace and evidence of a living faith. There's evidence there. And upon that evidence, there is the basis for a full and infallible assurance of our salvation. It's one of the pillars on which assurance of our salvation is built. Where there is no increase, where there is no abounding, where there is no abundance of growth in these things, no fruit, then there is no evidence of a work of God's grace, only evidence of a dead faith, and you have no title, no warrant of any assurance that you are a genuine believer. If there is no, if there are none of these marks, if they are not yours, and they are not abounding, then you have no title, no warrant for any assurance that you are a genuine Christian. Why? Because when God saves, God works in the one whom He has saved to bring about all His good pleasure, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. And that produces fruit, failure to pursue these things with all diligence will lead to a weak or even presumptuous assurance. Eventually it will lead to a spiritual blindness. It'll expose your spiritual blindness. You see? And spiritual blindness is already there. A lack of assurance is a forgetting that you were once, that you once believed that you were cleansed from your old sins. That condition, that spiritual blindness will rob you of assurance, that lack of fruitfulness, that lack of growing in those spiritual graces, that lack of growth, that lack of fruitfulness will rob you of assurance of your salvation. You see? And that condition will plunge you back into those sins that you once repented of. I don't know about you, but maybe it's only true of me. But in my Christian life, there have been times when I acknowledge that the things of God begin to grow strangely dim. And all of a sudden, it's almost like grabbing someone by the lapels and shaking them, right? Like, and the Lord uses that to remind me that I am in great need of him, great need of perseverance, great need of his power to preserve me. Pursue those with all diligence. You'll be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of him. In all of this, we see the third pillar of a full or infallible assurance of salvation. And here, throughout this text is the work of the spirit. The third pillar is the spirit's work in testifying to your spirit through these means that you are a child of God. These are, as our confession states, the inward graces of the spirit. They're not produced in your own strength. You can't fake it for very long. You can't really fake it at all. The Lord knows, right? Romans chapter eight, verse 16, the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. These are inward graces of the spirit. Assurance of our salvation, then, assurance of our salvation is not only faith in Christ for the objective promises that are freely offered us in the gospel, but assurance of our salvation, then, is the subjective and spirit-given, spirit-wrought confidence that we truly, genuinely possess saving faith and, therefore, eternal life in him. Verse 10, therefore, brethren, be even more diligent. Give all diligence to pursue those characteristics and then give even more diligence through these appointed means to make your call an election sure. Peter is calling you to a full and infallible assurance of your salvation. He's calling you to that assurance. This is something that we should have, possess. It's something that we should pursue. If we don't have it, this is something that the Christian can have. Peter is calling us to it and you make your call an election sure by pursuing these things that Peter is calling us to pursue. Four, he says, verse 10, if you do these things, you will never stumble for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Peter's concern here is assurance. Do you see? The assurance of the believer. A full and infallible assurance is the experience of the Christian who gives all diligence to what Peter has instructed us to do here. First John, chapter three, verse 18, John says, my little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this, we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before him. It's by this, faith in Jesus Christ for the promises, a working out of our salvation as it were in fear and trembling by pursuing the evidences of a genuine faith. By this, we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before him. It's by this that deluded souls escape their deception. It's by this that the hypocrite is exposed. Do you see? Article three of our confession continues, therefore it is the duty of everyone to give all diligence, to make his calling and election sure that thereby his heart may be enlarged in peace, may be enlarged in joy in the Holy Spirit, in love and in thankfulness to God, in strength and in cheerfulness in the duties of obedience, the proper fruits of this assurance. It's a wondrous doctrine.   If you grow lazy or sluggardly or apathetic or indifferent, spiritual blindness begins to set in. Don't allow that to be the case. Pursue these things with all diligence. Give yourselves to them and you'll be neither barren nor unfruitful in your knowledge of him, which is a wonder to behold. All praise honor and glory and blessing to him who works in us by his spirit to assure us that we are his children, amen. Let's pray. Take a moment now. As you consider the teaching of God's word on this subject, do you have assurance of your salvation? Are you a Christian? Is God, has God done a work in your heart by grace? Is he at work through the means of faith to produce these graces in you? If not, cry out to the Lord now, depend upon him and ask him to do that work in you. If he is, praise him for it and revel in that and embrace the full assurance by faith. Let's pray. Father in heaven, I pray that if there's anyone here who's unconverted, Lord, that you would save them for the glory of your son, for the glory of your own name, that you would work in them to produce the fruit of that. For my brothers and sisters here, Lord, I pray that you would build them up in their most precious faith and that you would render them neither barren nor unfruitful in their knowledge of you. You would only increase, you would add to their faith of virtue, to their virtue knowledge, to their knowledge, self-control, to self-control, perseverance, to all that godliness, brotherly kindness and love, Lord, that you would work in them these inward graces of your spirit that they might be fully assured of their standing with you and that that would, for your glory, add to their fruitfulness and add to our joy. Encourage us in these things, Lord, we pray. We love you, we thank you, Lord, for the blessedness of these truths and worship you for them. In Jesus' name, amen.

And the back tires can see a little bit better with the tread right there. Of course you get four wheel disc brakes on this car. And as we go around to the back of the vehicle no dents or dings or cracks on that rear bumper. You can see that that black silica has a nice little metal flake to it but not too much. The deck lid is an excellent condition. No dents or dings on that trunk. And it does have a back of camera and that shows up right there.

How are you all doing? Or should I say, how are you, fall, doing? Ha ha ha ha! Yang would've loved that one! Okay, okay. Seriously though, fall is here. We have fall in my world and in your world, so much red all around. And I'm here for it. It's my favorite time of year. All the leaves are changing color. I get to bust out all of my other red capes. And this fall is turning out to be my favorite of all time! Because Ruby's about to announce Sunfall! The return of Sun! A 19 episode arc featuring just Sun, traveling, just exploring. No! This is not canon! That Sunfall show, that sounds really good. I like that. Yeah, it sounds incredible. I'm sure it's going to make it past the pilot season. It's going green like that. Oh yeah, of course. Here's the door security guard. Sorry about that. Don't worry. Sun's off. Fighting crime is fine. Right this way. Come on in to my dorm room at Begin! All these renovations are incredible. It's exactly like I remember it before... before... Let's just move on. As leader of Team Ruby, it is my pleasure to announce that we're officially launching our own streaming presents. All of my dreams have come true! They tried to stop me. They said it wasn't presenting, but... Starting at the end of this month, I'll be streaming weekly. Now, what will I be streaming, you ask? I worked really hard in this presentation. Please let me tell you. We've got games. We've got chatting. We've got my friends from the V2verse. The VT, if you will. Not TV. That's a... that's so different and so chewy. You can check back here and on my personal profiles for any updates. I'll be sure to let you know when I go live. I feel alive right now. Am I not live right now? I'm having another crisis! Now go! Both worlds! All the worlds! Let the nut be providing flotation devices! This is your new mission! From me! Ruby! Your team leader! Now go! There's the door. Right there. Oh, oh, here. Oh, I'll get it for you. You've got it.


All right, well, we're here this morning taking up S30, which is a bill that would prohibit carrying, having firearms in certain buildings, including hospitals. And I believe that's why Dr. Sexton is here to talk to us on behalf of the Vermont Medical Society. Dr. Welcome, I'm Dick Sears, I share the committee. I'll let the rest of the committee introduce themselves starting with the vice chair. Good morning, Dr. Sexton, I'm Phil Baruth, I represent Chittenden County. Good morning, Joe. Hi, I'm Jeanette White, I represent Wyndham County. Good morning. Hi, I'm Alice Nidka, I represent Windsor County and a couple of towns out of the county. Good morning, Doc, I'm Joe Benning, I represent Caledonia County District, which is all of Caledonia County and the six northeastern most towns in Orange County. Good morning. And we have, usually we're sitting around a table and not feeling it's easy to go introducing by order. My visual of who's in what chair is different from what he else. Anyway, Dr. Welcome to Senate Judiciary, look forward to you. Thank you, yes, good morning. I am, so my name is Dr. Ryan Sexton, I'm a Vermont licensed emergency physician. I practice clinically at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital in St. John'sbury. I serve as vice president of the Vermont Medical Society, also president of the Vermont chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians. And I'm the medical director at NBRH of the emergency department and immediate past president of the medical staff there. I'm here speaking today on behalf of the Vermont Medical Society in full support of S30 and the prohibition of firearms in hospitals. Aside from responding law enforcement officers, no one should be admitted to carry firearms in hospitals. It's my understanding that most Vermont hospitals share this opinion and have internal policies banning firearms on hospital grounds. And while this hospital level ban is appropriate, I do feel that the seeds support our hospitals and our healthcare workers in legislating this ban across the state. I work with a caring team of nurses and physicians in a challenging and unpredictable environment.  We treat everyone with every condition, with the goal of doing as much as we can to reach individual patient. Our environment can be emotionally charged at times. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for our frontline staff to face verbal threats and physical assaults even from patients and visitors. Our frontline staff are at high risk of injury. I'd like to share a personal example. A few months ago, I took care of a young man in his 20s. He had new onset of acute and severe psychosis in schizophrenia. Working with our mental health partners, it was determined that he could not safely be discharged home from the emergency department. He would require inpatient psychiatric treatment. So while he was being held in RED, awaiting that transfer, I did meet with the young man's parents to explain his situation and the treatment plan. And upon hearing of his son's condition and the plan to transfer him, the patient's father became quite upset, frustrated. And I'll never forget this. He stated very clearly, if you put my son in the hospital, I will come after you and your children. It was clear that he meant this. Security immediately responded. Thankfully, their office was right next door to where I was meeting the family. He was escorted off the campus. And fortunately, in this case, he was not carrying a firearm, but had he been armed, I do believe this incident would have ended differently. There have been other concerning incidents at NVRH and other hospitals around the state in hearing from my emergency medicine partners around the state, where for example, in RED waiting room, I had a patient present intoxicated, brandishing a firearm with threatening behavior. Again, this incident was de-escalated by security and fortunately, luckily no one was harmed. This is the level of threat that we face in our practice. We have unfortunately experienced the 2018 fatal shooting. I'm sure you're all aware of the dart of involving a firearm. And just yesterday, I read of another fatal shooting of a physician at a healthcare facility in Texas. We have been fortunate to not have similar in Vermont recently, but we remain at risk. I feel that Vermont should do more to mitigate this risk. S-30 will protect patients and their loved ones. It will protect frontline nurses and physicians. And I urge you all to please vote in favor of this bill and support improving safety in our hospitals across the state. Senator Baruch. Thank you very much, doctor. I appreciate the testimony. I'm wondering, the pandemic presents its own medical challenges. Overlaying that, unfortunately, are political challenges where there's been a, I would say, under the past administration in the White House, there was a pitting of scientists and medical professionals against people who declared themselves promoters of freedom or liberty. And that has in other states produced additional friction in medical environments. Are you seeing that here at all? Is there an incidence of people who are upset about masking or restrictions due to COVID? Yes, absolutely. What does that look like?  This was early in the pandemic. I don't know if that patient's upset. More recently, I know that with the visitation policies that we've put in place to protect patients and staff, as well as visitors, patients have been quite frustrated with that. And we're doing all that we can to connect to patients and their families. I can't tell you the number of calls I make in my shifts now where in the past, we'd have visitors with patients and I could go in and speak with them. Or as I discussed in this case, out in the waiting room. Now we're having to use a phone and try and actually to implement video conferencing with family. Thank you. Senator White. Thank you, doctor. I guess my question is not, should there be a prohibition against firearms in hospitals? But what should be the penalty for it? And this creates it as a criminal offense with resulting in a criminal record for the person who maybe even inadvertently brings their sidearm in because they carry it all the time. So I guess my question is, if there were another way to enforce this without a criminal penalty, would that satisfy the need? I can't really speak to the penalty. I would hope that with a ban, that alone from the state level may dissuade people from bringing firearms to hospitals. I don't know what the repercussions of that should be but I think that it should be clear and supported. Our hospitals, as I said, is my hospital and I know many have internal policies banning this. But I think they would benefit from the protection of a gun law for prohibiting. Thank you. Senator Benning. Well, doc, I'm not sure we've ever actually met before but I'm on your board of corporators. And the last corporators meeting I went to, I walked into the building past the sign that said, no firearms. If Bobby Clark is in the security booth, who's a deputy sheriff by the way for the rest of the day. Okay, thank you. I didn't know who Bobby Clark was. Okay, well, he's one of several who actually occupy the security booth at the hospital. If an individual walks into the building now and is carrying a firearm, are all staff authorized to say to that person, you must leave and not come back with that firearm? Yeah, this presents a bit of a conflict. As I said, in emergency medicine, we treat everyone and we have to treat everyone. Everyone who comes to the door. And so, if someone were to come in and when they've come in with weapons, I personally would not feel comfortable addressing it. I know many of my nurses would not feel comfortable addressing it. I believe I would involve Bobby Clark in security and say, we have a patient who ignored the sign and I'd like you to please address the issue. So, I'm not sure that I quite understand the need for a law that creates a criminal offense. If you have the ability now to eject someone from the premises. If somebody's coming in with nefarious intent, I'm not sure that sign or any law is going to dissuade them from doing whatever the act is, but I'm trying to wrap my head around why we would develop a new criminal offense. And let me give another example. If a person comes in with a gunshot wound from a hunting accident and is brought into the emergency room by somebody who is actually carrying a side piece from when they were out hunting, you are automatically creating a criminal offense for that individual and they had no nefarious intent whatsoever.  And so I guess I'm trying to struggle with this because you already have the ability to eject someone, but I'm getting real leery about bringing in a new criminal offense. That's just a comment. I have one other question for you. My primary care provider is Corner Medical, which is a part of the hospital system. Do you happen to know if they have a sign out front of their door as well? I do not know. They're not my primary care. I don't practice there. And I, the last time I heard them take notice, they may. Okay. In Bennington, it's a campus. So the entire campus is supposed to be weapon and immaculate free. So that's the sign in the office building. You were on the campus. Most of you were on the campus. Senator Bruce. Just speaking to Senator Benning's comments, someone would have to be charged in order to be criminally prosecuted. So if the state's attorney thought that it was an honest misunderstanding that someone had been wounded and it was found later that they had a weapon on their person, they wouldn't automatically go to jail or receive a criminal penalty. There would be discretion involved. The other thing I would say is that we do have criminal penalties now attached to school buildings and property and courthouses. And we have lived with that and that has come to seem a very common sense set of provisions. So this would add hospitals to that as well as government buildings. So it's not creating anything we don't already observe in our law. I understood the doctor to be saying that he thought it would have a beneficial effect in terms of sending out the message statewide that hospitals are places where it is no longer to be even considered bringing a weapon onto that property. Doctor, did you wanna comment or ask, ensure? Yes, I would agree with Senator Baruch. That is my position. Senator Nidka. I'm just wondering with regard to, you had said the policy or that you think that the policy should be that no firearms allowed on hospital grounds even. So presently it seems like places where someone does show up with a gun that people have been able to ask the person calmly, just say, if we don't wanna allow guns here, could you please take it out and lock it in your car? And of course the car will be parking on hospital grounds. So is it really that it's needed on grounds as well as in the building? Is that your thinking? Personally, I think within the facility structure would make sense to me that would allow people to have their firearms in there and secure in their vehicle. I know the argument and all that but the word knowing needs to be somewhere in this bill. I think I used the example when we first started discussing this. I went through TSA at the Albany Airport long before the COVID by the way. And I have a little knife that I use to hold my dollar bills and cash. So it's a cashier and they caught it as I went through security and they took it. I had no intention of bringing a knife in the airport or onto the plane. So I mean, it was simply I lost it. So I think as we go forward with this bill, it's knowingly, I think the person you described hunting and the person accidentally shot didn't even realize their thoughts were all with their friend who just got shot. And they didn't realize they had a gun on them. I think they would probably be very calm about the whole thing. And you know, please take the gun out of here. I realize you didn't even know you had it. We've got them now. So I think that's an important thing. I've been struggling with this bill and I understand the arguments by some that, you know, if I don't have a gun to defend, I need the gun to defend myself if somebody comes in, this is only gonna stop good people bringing guns in, not to those in the deck. I just struggled with this as Senator Baruth just mentioned. It's been going on in the courthouses for a long time. Most of the old hospitals I'm familiar with have some form of security. So I'm struggling with, I know the argument about certain government buildings. I've heard that, I don't understand the hospitals. I don't think it's a problem with firearms. I'm in there for something else, seeing the emergency in the emergency room. I don't want to have to worry about somebody else. Senator White, you're muted, Senator White. I'm trying to be a good committee member and not make noise, but thank you. I would like to ask the doctor, in terms of sending a message, I understand that there might be more force to more of a message to the public if it were a statewide prohibition. I guess my question is, does that prohibition need to be a criminal offense? I struggle with this bill also and because I don't want to create more crimes and more people with criminal records. And so would a civil violation be a prohibition with a civil violation as a result? Send the same message. It would be a statewide prohibition, but it would be a civil offense as opposed to criminal. Yeah, again, I'm sorry that I just, I can't speak to what the offense should be. I just, I think that there should be a very clear message and that that would be what my request would be. I just will make the comment about that we have it in schools and courthouses and that their criminal offense is there. And were we having this discussion, were I involved in the discussion now about courthouses and schools? I might have the same concerns about it being criminal or civil. So thank you. Senator Bruce. Yeah, just to tie on to what Jeanette just said, that's one of my, actually one of my fears about the committee exploring a civil penalty for this. And I'll explain what I mean. When we decriminalized marijuana, we started by making it not a criminal offense, but a civil offense. And the message was very clear. We were stepping down the amount of scrutiny and the amount of punishment. And I worry that we would be inadvertently here. First of all, we'd be creating two tiers, one for schools and courthouses, one for hospitals and government buildings. That wouldn't necessarily make sense. And eventually somebody will say, well, let's decriminalize schools and courthouses and make those civil offenses. And that is exactly the wrong direction for us to be moving in. It's completely contrary to the spirit of this bill, which is to say guns have become an overwhelming problem in our society at certain places and moments. The Capitol insurrection being the most recent, but also in government buildings around the country and as we've heard in hospitals. So I think the idea that we would send the message that we're adopting a lesser penalty than we've previously put in place for schools and courthouses, that seems a dangerous move to me. I think we should, we're kind of arguing about the bill with a witness from the Medical Society. I further hear from the witnesses his thoughts and that of other docs. Yeah, you know, I would just add that a few years ago, I recall looking at the school bill law and wondering why that was not this case for hospitals as well. I went so far as actually to make that law and substitute out school for hospital, just to, you know, and then proposed it and sent it to some legislators to see if that were something they want to pursue. So I was very happy to see this bill come into discussion. And it does make sense to me that that level that schools are afforded would be also afforded to a hospital. Senator Benning and then Senator White. One of the rationales behind one component of this bill was the concept of somebody coming into the hospital with a gun to raid the pharmaceutical department. And I'm curious to know whether you have any evidence of that ever happening in the state of Vermont. I do not, I would not know that.  Do you happen to know what her diagnosis was at the time? I believe if I recall, it's been a while, but I believe it was a brain aneurysm, I think. Okay, thank you. So I guess I'm up, in terms of extending it to, I don't see any reason for guns in hospitals, but should we also extend it to urgent care centers? There are urgent care centers around the state, we have one in Brownborough. And if one of the reasons was for the pharmaceuticals, should we extend it to pharmacies? Yeah, I can speak to the urgent care or as we have at Corner Medical and the Northeast Kingdom Express care facilities. Yeah, I do think that they probably have a similar threat. They're not dealing with as much typically life or death situations with high emotions, emotionally charged environment. Patients aren't typically staying there for prolonged periods of time. They're not seeing the acute psychiatric illness and intoxications that we see presenting to emergency departments. So I do think it's a different level of risk, but there is a risk there as well. And in terms of the, I can't remember the definition of the terms of the hospital here, but does this include the retreat and the state psychiatric hospital in Berlin? Are they considered hospitals under this? Eric might be able to answer that or the sponsor. Okay.  Well, I am a sponsor, but yes, I was a sponsor. There is a cross-reference to VSA. Yeah, I just can't remember what that is. 1902. I can't remember either. I can't remember what that definition is. That's the definition of licensing for hospitals. So any hospital that needs to be licensed would fall under that. Whether that would include an urgent care center, I think it would include... They have to be licensed, right? But licensed by who? By the state. Well, okay. I guess we should... Can we focus on the witnesses? Yeah. Well, he probably didn't drive a long distance to be with us today, but he is taking time out of his busy day to be with us. So maybe we could focus on the witness and then discuss the merits of the bill or what's in the bill and what's not in the bill. Are there other questions for the Dr. Sexton? Dr. Ribi, have you heard from any doctors who are say opposed to this bill from the medical society? I have not. And I have not heard from any doctors, emergency room docs in my area in Bennington, Dr. Dodson or anyone else who's opposed to the bill. No, I think for the... We would adhere to our internal hospital policy, which is to ourselves not carry firearms in the hospital. The concern would be that others visiting our hospital don't know that internal policy. Okay, other questions for Dr. Sexton? Dr, thanks so much for being with us today. I appreciate it. No, thank you for having me. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Now we could continue a little discussion for a few minutes if you want. We're about five minutes left. I've scheduled the commissioner at DCF next week on this bill because we haven't really talked about childcare facilities in a sense. They license probably a year. And then more committee discussion on it, but I have a hard time with the hospitals and not having some law. And I really want to look at whether it's beefing up our unlawful trustless laws or whatever, could a, how can a hospital deal with somebody without this law? They already are. There's a sign out front that says, don't bring a weapon in. If a weapon is brought in, there's an argument that's been made. They have the ability to eject them. And if they are ejected and choose to come back in, they are now violating a notice against trespass, which is in fact a criminal offense. So why are we adding on something else? Dick, could I ask if Eric could, we've referenced this for days and days and we haven't let Eric address it. There's a whole argument that's been laid out about 3705 and it seems like having Eric give us his opinion would be. If he's prepared at this time, if he'd rather wait until next Wednesday, I'm fine with that too. Oh, it's fine. It's similar to the email that I had sent committee members. And you know, it's roughly, roughly similar to what Senator Benning is saying and what the commissioner said. I was drawing a distinction between, I think last week the committee had been told that simply coming into the hospital, or a store or any place that's posted a sign that says no firearms allowed, that a person who then comes on the premises with a firearm is trespassed. And that I do not agree with that. I don't think that's the case. The trespass is an entrance upon land after being directed not to do so, after being ordered either to leave or not to come out. It does not have to do with what you can or cannot do while you're on the property. So if someone comes on into a hospital or into a store that has posted the fact that there's no firearms permitted, someone will then somehow have to have an interaction with that person and inform him or her that they have to leave and that they're not permitted on the property anymore. If at that time the person either refuses to leave or as Senator Benning said, goes out and comes back in after being ordered not to do so, at that point they've committed a trespass. And so at that point law enforcement could be called or if it's a place like a hospital where securities are already there, they can inform the person or charge the person with the trust, I guess I don't think there's, I don't know whether law enforcement is also present at a hospital, whether it's private security, I don't know, but they certainly could be arrested at that point. I think you may recall the commissioner talking about a rule three, the rule is a criminal procedure as to when a person can be arrested. If they're committing a misdemeanor in the presence of an officer, they can be arrested. So I think that if the person is continuing on they are committing the trespass misdemeanor and they can be arrested, that's only after the communication, that's the difference between the bill and the trespass situation. The bill doesn't require that interim communication between someone at the hospital or someone at the store to go up to the person and say, you can't be on the property anywhere. If the bill under the proposal of the bill, a person who's on the grounds with a firearm has immediately committed the unlawful act. So there's no need for anyone on staff or who works at the facility to talk to the person. They could just call on portion right then and say there's somebody here who's violated the law, gets being here with a firearm. Can you please come and arrest him? And if I might, Mr. Chair. Go ahead. No, I'm just, Eric, if we could research Brattleboro Court, they ran into problems because the Brattleboro Court went to private security without arrest powers. So they were frequently needing to call the Brattleboro Police Department, which is next door to the courthouse, luckily, to come over and deal with cases that were not compliant with the rules or the law. I shouldn't say rules or law. So maybe we should kind of research that and what happened. Maybe because it didn't happen in the presence of an officer, it happened in the presence of a security. Now, my hospital security is not with us, it's security. Actually, it's not next door. Now, it's about three miles away. Okay, well, they haven't traveled. But they don't have law enforcement ability, that's true. They can't arrest anybody, they can just detain them. Right, so go ahead, Phillip. I just wanted to mention that that's already a case in Brattleboro who can get some information from the police there. So I just want to ask, is it possible then for a hospital or a business to adopt any condition that they want? For instance, there was a case a few weeks ago where a guy pulled a gun on someone who wore a mask into his store because he was very, very anti-mask and he had a condition that you couldn't come into his store with a mask. And then somebody did and he pulled a gun on them and told them they had to leave. Can you create any condition and then no matter how disputed that condition and then have it fall under the no trespassing ordinance? Couldn't some of you argue? Yeah, I think you couldn't, for example, set out rules in a sign or in any other manner that were themselves discriminatory or against the law, for example, or against the Constitution. You couldn't, for example, say, well, persons of a certain race or ethnicity or religion can't come in here. Well, that's my point. To go back to Joe's contention from the last time we talked about this, there are people who very fervently believe it's their constitutional right to carry a weapon into these places. And right now they can point to the fact that there is no state law against it. And I feel like sometimes we acknowledge that but in this discussion of trespassing, we're acting like that wouldn't be a real problem but that was one of the reasons I had for putting the bill forward is that people stand on their constitutional grounds whether regardless of where they're told to leave with their weapon and then it strengthens the hand of the people who are trying to remove them if there's a state law as opposed to a hospital prohibition or a little restaurant in Burlington that puts up a sign that says you can't have a gun here. I can foresee a standoff where somebody would say you Joe Blow who own this little taco stand don't have the right to tell me I can't have my gun in here as opposed to a state law that says X, Y, or Z. Not talking about taco stands. No, no, but what, well, if Eric is right then what he's saying is that any private establishment could do that. Including a taco stand. And then they could charge no trespass. Right, but my point is that that will not be automatically honored because we have a second amendment rights group that doesn't acknowledge the primacy of their private regulation. I would respectfully disagree with you there Phillip because we've had two witnesses who represent gun groups say specifically they acknowledge that a private institution has the right to ban them from bringing a weapon inside. Okay, then let me just call that bluff. Let's put a language in this trespassing statute that says exactly what you just said and they will oppose it tooth and nail. Why would you do that? I mean, right now if I put a no trespass up that says on my property no trespass period I have the right to do that for any reason. I don't want anybody. You do because it's your property. Right. If you walk past a sign that says no shirts, not allowed and you're not wearing a shirt when you go in past that sign does the owner of that property have the right to eject you? I would argue yes, they do. They have the ability to eject you giving you the notice against trespass. I acknowledge Eric is correct that there has to be some interaction. But when you're given that notice against trespass you are now subjecting yourself to a criminal offense. Did you hear? In violation of a notice against trespass. What Chris Bradley was saying. When this bill came about I was extremely nervous. I start always with the premise that I have a constitutional right which we're all sworn to protect first and foremost. I understood with respect to the hospitals that there was a concern about people coming in with a weapon and stealing from the pharmacies. We don't have any evidence of that whatsoever. No, it wasn't stealing from the pharmacies, Joe. That was what I heard is one of the excuses for the bill. That was for me and that was an actual case that I had heard of. That wasn't from a pharmacy downtown. It was from the hospital pharmacy. They were asking for drugs in the hospital and they had a firearm. And I just want- But by itself, Dick, that is a criminal offense. If you are using the weapon with intent to get something you are already in violation of a criminal law. The hospitals have come in and testified with the exception of the doctor we heard from the hospital. The hospitals have come in and said, we have the signs out front of all buildings. There hasn't been any evidence that I have heard thus far that somebody has violated that signage. Yes, we did hear a testimony. No. Yes. What I heard was if somebody came in, they were ejected. No, the Dartmouth incident, they violated the policy.  And while I understand that is a problem, by itself, his actions were criminal. Whether he came into the hospital or not, it did not prevent him from committing the act. This is a very interesting discussion. We've got about three minutes before the floor action. We need to go from Zoom to Zoom. And that is, Chris Bradley was having it both ways. He was saying that, of course, any establishment can invoke a criminal prohibition against having a firearm. But at another moment, if you listen to him, he was very clear that he believes you have the right to concealed carry anywhere. You do. You do. You do. But no, if there's a, you can't concealed carry in a courthouse and you can't concealed carry on school grounds because there's a state law against possessing the firearm. So that's what we're talking about. According to my iPad, there's now 1126. That gives us four minutes to get to the place. We better go. Vanessa likes us to go early. I suggest that this is adjourned.
