A Call to Diligence

Romans 12:11-16
If you have your Bible's I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 12. Let's remind ourselves where we've been in Romans chapter 12. In verses 1 and 2, Paul sets forth a Magna Carta for Christian life. It's a grand declaration of some first principles for Christian living and he continues in verses 3 through 8 by talking about how Christians should relate to other believers in the context of addressing the Spirit's gift to the church. He speaks about out platforms for using those gifts in the church. He talks about our serving one another out of humility. He talks about serving one another out of our unity and diversity. He talks about serving one another because the spiritual gifts that God gives to the church are for the purpose of mutual benefit and mutual encouragement.
At that point, Paul moves from this discussion of the employment of these spiritual gifts to talk about virtues that he is interested in seeing in the Christian life, its evidence of the graces of the Spirit. The first one that he chooses to talk about is love. He does that in other places. He does that in Galatians chapter 5. He does that in I Corinthians 13. He transitions from talking about the gifts of the Holy Spirit to talking about the priority of love in the Christian life. This is not an unusual thing that he does. In verses 9 and 10 he basically spells out what love means. He describes Christian love as sincere, as godly, as affectionate, and as self-denying and so basically says to us that our love must be real love, discerning love, fervent love, and selfless love.
Now, tonight he begins to talk again about character qualities that he expects to see cultivated in the lives of believers, as well as discussing ways that we need to relate to one another and attitudes that we ought to have about ourselves. Let's hear God's word in Romans chapter 12 beginning in verse 11 and reading down to verse 16. This is God's word.
"Not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. Bless those who persecute you. Bless and curse not. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation."
Amen. This is God's word, may He add His blessing to it. Let's pray.
Lord and God, as we study this passage filled with grand directives, we pause and acknowledge that just having heard these things, having them in our ears, we realize how far short we fall from what Your Spirit would have done in the lives of Your people and in the body of Christ. We ask, O Lord, that You would grip us with the desire to be like this and that by Your Holy Spirit You would work this growth in grace so that we would resemble not only this description given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul, but so that we would resemble Your Son, our Lord. That we might bare His likeness and people might see our discipleship, our trust our belief in Him in the quality of the transformed light evident in our character. This we ask in Jesus name. Amen.
What are the character qualities of a Christian? How does a Christian relate to others, even persecutors? What ought the Christian attitude be to ourselves? Paul is concerned in this passage to speak to each of those questions. He doesn't say everything that could be said, but he does highlight several important things. He's not going to be finished, for instance, just in these verses addressing the issue of how Christians should relate to non-Christians and to their enemies and to those who persecute them. He's actually going to turn back to that subject again later in this chapter and in this section of the book of Romans.
In this passage tonight he does speak to each of those three questions. What are the character qualities of a Christian? You see that in verses 11 through 13. How does a Christian relate to others, even enemies? You'll see that in verse 14. And what is the Christians attitude to himself? You'll see that in verse 16. Let's look at the passage together.
I. The character qualities of a Christian.
First at verses 11 through 15 where he describes a faithful Christian disciple. A faithful Christian disciple, he says, works, toils. That is going to be the mystery statement. Think about that for a minute, a faithful Christian disciple toils. That is literally what he says, but I'll have to explain that a little bit. He works, he toils, he serves, he rejoices, he perseveres, he prays, he gives, he shares.
Paul gives us eight qualities in this passage. Eight qualities of the disciple of Jesus. Let's just walk through these qualities. I've got to give you a disclaimer at the outset. I've got eight points under point one, three points under point two, three points under three, there is no way I'm going to get through this stuff. It's rich and we will take our time and we will work through what we can get through and do justice to it. Paul starts off by saying, "Not lagging behind in diligence." He's exhorting us as believers in love, not to lag behind in diligence. He is telling us not to be slack in zeal. He is warning us against spiritual laziness. When he tells us that he doesn't want us to lag behind in diligence, the word that he uses combines the ideas of urgency and diligence. This is a stricture against spiritual laziness in the Christians life and a corresponding call to do the opposite comes in the very next phrase.
Now, this is not an argument from Paul against planning. It's not an argument from Paul against being deliberate and careful and measured. Remember, Paul's the one who is going to talk about doing all things "decently and in order" in I Corinthians 14, in the very context of talking about spiritual fervency and diligence. So, those things for the apostle are not mutual exclusives, they are not opposites, they are not things that can't fit together, but Paul is talking about a real urgency and diligence in the Christian life and he's warning Christians against an attitude or posture of spiritual laziness.
That's very important because very often in the Christian life you will hear people talk about sanctification in terms which are, for instance all passive or mainly passive, as if the main thrust of growth in the Christian life was sort of to sit back in your easy chair and 'let go and let God.' That type of view of growth in grace and the Christian life actually contradicts these kinds of Pauline imperatives that we are not to lag behind in diligence. This kind of imperative is typical of the intensity with which the apostle expects us to live the Christian life.
Now again, Paul in this phrase and in the very next phrase is not calling on us all to be the same personality type. He's not calling us all to do the same things or to be the same way. There is going to be a diversity in the Christian church. He's already talked about that. He wants all of us to avoid spiritual laziness and that is where he begins in this list of qualities.
I've always appreciated my mother's attitude towards this. She never felt imposed upon in her duties in the Christian life, but she took them up with gusto and she loved the work, and she loved to work for the Lord, and one of her mottos in life was, "You may be smarter than me, but I'll out work you." She lived that in front of us day by day. She never felt like she was being pushed into doing something against her will. She served in the Christian church. It was something that she delighted in doing. So this kind of call to diligence and avoidance of spiritual laziness certainly came home to her in her Christian experience.
Paul goes on, secondly, to say in contrast to this we aught to be fervent in the Spirit. We are to work with spiritual energy. There should be drive and intensity in our ministrations. This passage translates literally "in the spirit toiling." That's how Paul puts it. He's emphasizing to us something of the intensity that ought to characterize out desire to serve in the Christian church. Isn't it interesting that in Revelation 3:15, one of the charges, one of the severest charges that Jesus brings home against one of the seven Christian churches is the charge of lukewarmness. He goes on to say, "I would rather it be that you were hot or cold." Anything but lukewarm.
Here the apostle is talking about one or the other of those particular manifestations in the Christian life, in this case toiling, that is, in the Spirit. He's calling for a certain enthusiasm in Christian experience. The Christian is to be on fire for God.
Again, this is not a personality description, he is not asking us to act more like Pentecostals in our demeanor in relating to one another. Fire in one's belly can manifest itself in very different ways. One the one hand, there can be people with very obvious outward zeal for the Lord. They may have a zeal for truth, they may have a zeal for love, they may have a zeal for some particular cause that is being threatened in their day and time. On the other hand, zeal can often be manifested in quiet determination. A person who sticks to a particular course and does not vary one way or another. The person does not draw attention to one's self, the person isn't trying to make a name for himself or herself, but he quietly with determination presses on in a particular cause. You need this kind of spiritually derived energy in order to walk faithfully in that way. So, however the manifestation comes, Paul is asking for us to work with the spiritual energy.
That kind of energy is manifested in different ways. For instance, in preaching there was a minister last century named James Henley Thornwell, and as he preached, a person once remarked, "This man preaches as with logic on fire." The comment was, he's clearly, intellectually equipped, he's clearly literate in the Scriptures, but there is an intensity and an enthusiasm about his preaching that is very evident. That is a person who evidencing this kind of spiritual energy in his work.
Thirdly, Paul does on again in verse 11 to say that we ought to be serving the Lord. Serving the Lord. If you're going to be a servant, serve. The apostle, notice again, is concerned that spiritual energy be put to work in Christian service. What's the manifestation of spiritual energy for Paul? Some ecstatic experience that the individual has? No, the great manifestation of spiritual energy in the Christian life is serving the Lord. Not serving our own interest, not seeking to build up our own reputation, not pressing our own agendas, but genuinely doing what we do because we want to please the Lord. From time to time ministers and those involved in Christian work have to ask themselves, "Why are we doing what we are doing?" Sometimes, Christian service can be incredible self-gratifying. When you go out and you teach a lesson and it really helps somebody and they express that to you and it feels good. Or you counsel with somebody and they come back in several weeks later and say, "You know, what you said helped me more than anybody else has helped me," that feels good. After a while you can find yourself serving because you want to hear those kinds of encouragements and you want to be built up by the compliments and the help of the saints and you have to stop and ask yourself, "What am I doing here? Am I serving the Lord, or am I serving myself?" The apostle here is calling us again to serve the Lord. The true evidence of a spiritually originated inner fervency in the Christian life is not ecstasy, it's serving the Lord. Serving Him. Period. Serving His agenda.
Fourthly, look again at verse 12, where Paul says that we are to rejoice in hope, rejoicing in hope. The faithful Christian disciple rejoices in hope. He has an ability to rejoice in light of this profound hope of glory and of salvation to come. Present circumstances cannot remove that rejoicing because present circumstances cannot, in the long run, impact that hope. The hope of future glory in salvation is able to animate our rejoicing even in the midst in the most real and severe and overwhelming trials in this life. If our ultimate hope was derived even from the desire that bad situations we are in now will eventually become good, we could not rejoice in all circumstance. Not all the bad circumstances that we are in now will be good in the long run in our lives. There will be some things that will never be rectified in this live. That hope of glory, however, enables us to rejoice in every circumstance Paul says, rejoicing in hope.
Then fifthly he says, that we are to be persevere in tribulation. His language is to say that we are to endure in the midst of deep and serious trouble. That is an important and a practical New Testament imperative. When the Spirit enables us to perseverance, the spirit enables us to not simply bear up under stress, to survive the things that we are going through, but the Spirit enables us to continue to be useful in kingdom service despite that stress and despite that trial. Paul is calling on us to manifest this in our Christian life and experience. Persevering in tribulation.
Look again at verse 12, "Devoted to prayer," he says. Pray faithfully and constantly. Be devoted to prayer. Persistent prayer is of course a part of the Christian life. We could pile up examples of the statements of godly men about prayer over the years to emphasis this. C.H. Spurgeon, for instance said, "A prayer-less soul is a Christ-less soul." Matthew Henry once said that "Those who live without prayer live without God in this world." Calvin believed that prayer was the summary evidence of everything in the Christian life. The Apostle Paul is here calling us to be faithful and persistent in our prayer as a necessary part of the Christian life.
Seventh, he goes on in verse 13 to speak of our giving generously to needy Christians without any condescension. Notice in his phrase, "contributing to the needs of the saints." That is a very interesting passage and it's harder to translate than it might sound. "Contributing to the needs of the saints" sounds fairly straight forward, but the word for contributing here is actually the verbal form of the word that you frequently hear translated as fellowship. You use the word even in English koinonia to talk about Christian fellowship. That word actually means to share in or having a share in. This is the verbal form of that particular word. It's speaking of a sharing between Christians. Paul is calling on Christians to give generously to those Christians who are in need. There is a connection between fellowship and sharing in the church. Fellowship is actually shared life. Paul is calling on Christians who are part of the Christian fellowship, or shared life to tangibly share with one another especially those who are in need.
Then he adds to that, in verse 13, practice hospitality. When I first looked at this, I thought, well maybe he's saying the same thing in two different phrases. That is of course possible, but it's more likely that Paul is thinking in the first part of that phrase about Christians who are part of the local congregation and in the second part of the phrase he's thinking about Christians who are not part of that local congregation. The word hospitality actually means, kindness to strangers. Of course, that is a very important part of life in the early Christian church. If you were persecuted in one region and fled to another, the only family you might have to go to is the Christian congregation in that other region, and if you were a member of the Christian congregation in that other region you might find yourself bringing someone in your home who you've never met before only because that person is a Christian. When Dr. Doriani was here he talked about the importance of realizing there is not only a natural family that the Bible talks about, but there is a spiritual family and we have a kinship to one another. Jesus talked about that constantly in His own stories to the disciples. Do you remember where He talked to the disciples about if they gave up their natural families for His sake, that the Lord would give them one hundred fold what they gave up in the earthly family. So Paul here is giving this exhortation to us to take in brothers who are strangers for the sake of the gospel, to practice hospitality to brothers in the Lord who you don't know.
Now, our congregation has opportunity to do that from time to time. You do that in the missions conference. The word hospitality here shouldn't immediately cause your mind to run to china and silverware and crystal and perfect houses. This is kindness to strangers who are brothers and sisters in Christ in time of need. Willingness to take them in and care for them and to show them love. When I went to Britain to study I was taken in by Christians who were total strangers to me and to whom I was a total stranger and I was shown many manifestations of Christian love for which I am profoundly grateful. They were practicing what Paul speaks of here as hospitality. Paul is saying, when you see these kinds of things in a person's life, you are seeing the grace of the Holy Spirit at work.
I'd like to suggest to you that a very helpful exercise for you would be not simply to go through this list and ask, "Well Lord, to what extent does this characterize me," but actually go through the list and say, "Lord, cultivate this quality in me. Lord, you called me not to lag behind in diligence. Make me diligent in your kingdom, Lord. You call me to be fervent in the spirit, so by your Holy Spirit cause me to be on fire for God. You called me to serve the Lord. Make sure, O Lord by Your Spirit that I don't serve myself or my own self interest, but that I serve the Lord." Turn it into a prayer; reverse it. You see the character qualities listed by God? Well, pray them back to Him. You can be sure that He will be anxious to respond to that particular prayer. So there you see some character qualities of the disciples of Jesus as set forth by the Apostle Paul. You see why you really can take much longer to do justice to this passage.
II. How the Christian relates to others, even enemies.
In verse 14 and 15, Paul turns from the subject of character qualities to talk about relating to others. He talks about relating not only to those with whom we might be on a friendly basis, but about relating to those who are enemies. He tells us here that the faithful Christian disciple blesses and refrains from cursing and sympathizes with others. He gives us three imperatives for relating to others.
The first one you see in verse 14, it's perhaps the most surprising where he says, "Seek God's blessings on your persecutors. Bless those who persecute you." Then he repeats just in case we didn't hear him the first time. "Bless and do not curse." He knows how hard this particular directive is and so he repeats it and states it in the negative. This is an utterly otherworldly approach to ones enemies. You know, you've heard a lot in the media over the last few months how Islam and Christianity are the same. It's these kinds of directives, in comparison to the coordinate directive in the, Koran that set Christianity and Islam in bold relief. Look at how Islam used those outside of the brotherhood of Islam and then look at these kinds of directives peppered throughout the New Testament, and you'll see one of the real ethical divides between those two religions. At any rate, Paul is calling on us here to bless those who persecute us.
This isn't the only thing that Christians are to do in relation to persecution, this isn't a directive saying that, for instance, that you are never to do anything to avoid being persecuted. It doesn't say that you can never protect yourself and seek legal protection from persecutors. Paul, interestingly in the course of his ministry, took at least two different tacts to those who were persecuting him. Sometimes Paul let himself be persecuted, despite the fact that he could have sought legal refuge from that persecution. The choice that he made was usually dependant upon what would best serve the interest of the kingdom. Other times, Paul avoided that persecution by seeking legal protection. You can watch him do it on his missionary journey. Paul is not telling you everything about how you relate to persecutors, but he is saying, "Here is the big picture." I do not want your hearts to grow narrowed and hardened against those who are now your enemies and the enemies of God. I want your hearts to be large with them and to desire God's blessings on them.
Then he goes on to give two other words about relating to others. "Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep." For one thing this reminds of that the Christian has a generous spirit in relating to others and has a tremendous concern for the state of hearts for others. The Christian isn't insensitive to the state of another person's heart. The first directive I think, here in verse 15, is the hardest of these two directions. I think that it is harder to rejoice with those who rejoice than it is to weep with those who weep. Many of you, just because God has cultivated a Christian Spirit in you, find it easy to sympathize and empathize with those who are going through difficulty. Of course, there is always the challenge of ministering to someone who is going through something that you have never, ever gone through. I understand there are all sort of choices and difficulties there, but in rejoicing with those who rejoice, I think we manifest our Christian love in an extraordinary way. It is perhaps harder than mourning with those who are in mourning. Why?
Often times we are called upon to rejoice with other people for whom God has granted a certain blessing that he has not granted to us. When my wife and I were at Reformed Seminary, we longed to have children and we were unable to. A ministry really developed for my wife and we discovered there were several other young women at the seminary who were unable to have children and she developed a community of fellowship with many of those woman because they knew that she understood what they were going through not being able to have children. When we conceived Sarah Kennedy, it is amazing how difficult it was for some of those women to be able to rejoice with Anne. Now, I don't say that as a criticism. I understand that entirely. We ourselves had experienced that when friends conceived and were going to have children. It is difficult to rejoice with them in the very thing that you are waiting upon for the Lord to do in your own experience, but isn't it a mark of grace when you are able to do so. Paul is calling on us here to rejoice with those who are rejoicing as well to weep with those who weep. So, those imperatives he gives for our relating to others.
III. The Christian's attitude toward himself.
Then we come back to verse 16. Again he give three directives regarding our attitude towards others and our own self-estimation. He tells us that basically the basic Christian disciple is humble. He tells us in verse 16, the very first part of the verse, "be of the same mind toward one another." In other words, have the same concern for all the brethren. Favoritism is pandemic in life. Favoritism is everywhere, it's universal. Paul is saying that in the Christian church we ought to contradict that epidemic. We ought to have a love for all the brethren, have the same concern for all the brethren. It doesn't mean that you don't have friends that who are especially close, but it means that you guard against the spirit of favoritism in the congregation.
He goes on to say, "do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly." In other words, don't think to highly of yourself. Don't think that there are some people within the Christian church who are just frankly, beneath you. An over estimation of one's own self importance is a sure sign that gospel humility is lacking in an individual. When a person becomes too important to do something, well that's not a good spiritual sign. I will not tell his name because there are family relations present, but my wife once went to a seminary and met a person who was a high ranking official at that seminary. She was with me while I was teaching there for a couple of week, and the administrator, at the end of the day, was going around the classroom empting trash cans. My wife caught that immediately and loved him on the spot for it, because there was a person who could have thought of himself as above certain things, who was giving himself to even menial tasks in the church. Paul is saying that that type of attitude in service ought to also be there in our relationships. Even when we are really different from other people, even when people are from a different socioeconomic standing than us, even when they are in different social situations than we are in , we ought to be ready to associate with everyone in the Christian church.
Then he goes on to conclude by saying, "Do not be wise in your own estimation." Don't be conceited, don't be wise in your own sight. This again is a mark of a lack of spiritual grace in a person's life. Humility is one of the great graces of life and Robert Haldane says that "self conceit is an evidence both of a weakness of mind and of ignorance." I once knew a very gifted seminary student who went off and did graduate study. He sat through many false teachings during his Bible studies and came back to minister, thinking himself much smarter than those who were his teachers in seminary and his pastors growing up, and even his family relations and friends back home. He thought very highly of himself. I had four conversations with him. I have never gotten a word in edgewise. I remember a friend of his, who is now a church planter, saying to me, "So and so is educated beyond his intelligence." It was a very apt way of explaining this person. Though he may have been educated beyond his intelligence, he was far less intelligent than he thought himself. The apostle is bringing this to bare on all of us. None of us ought to think to highly of ourselves. When we do, we are waiting for a fall. Let's pray.
Heavenly Father, these words are so practical and they hit so close to home with all of us that we now pray that by your Holy Spirit You would give us a heart that we would want to be like this. That we would want to manifest the graces of the Spirit in our lives. That we would show humility and that we would show sympathy, and that we would show these qualities of life that are brought in your people by the Spirit of God. Bring this about, we pray, that we might be a better testimony to You and the world and that we might please You. For we ask it in Jesus name. Amen.

Henry Alonzo Grimes
November 3, 1935-April 15, 2020
Henry played bass, violin and was also a poet, literally and musically. He recorded and played with Gerry Mulligan, Sonny Rollins, Monk, Mingus, Anita O'Day, Benny Goodman and countless others.
Lee Konitz
October 13, 1927-April 15, 2020
Lee was the last surviving player from the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool album released in 1957. We'd be shocked if that was not on the best-in-jazz list of any reader of Seacoast Jazz Notes. Lee also had a long career punctuated by superior playing as a leader on 154 albums and a sideman on 62 others. When Charlie Parker was blazing his trail, Lee Konitz and a few others detoured through more melodic and rhythmic paths. If you listen to Lee followed by Paul Desmond and then Art Pepper, it all makes perfect sense.
Michael Josef Longo
March 19, 1937-March 22, 2020
Mike was best known as a pianist for Dizzy Gillespie. If you got to hear Dizzy at The Music Hall in the '80s, you heard Mike too. Other than the Dizzy decades, Mike swung close to the soul cats. Somewhat influenced by Cannonball Adderley, he shows up in a variety of places. If you see a used black CD with a red devil's head on it entitled, Return of Killer Jazz Funk, spend the dollar (or less) and get it. Mike's on it and it's a great house party CD to play for jazz newbies.
Ellis Louis Marsalis, Jr.
November 14, 1934-April 1, 2020
If you're reading this, you know Ellis Marsalis. Losing the patriarch of our jazz royal family to pneumonia resulting from Covid-19 is this jazz lover's deepest cut. Ellis and Wynton's Joe Cool's Blues; Ellis and Branford's, Loved Ones: If you haven't heard them, they're worth the effort. Ellis's solo album, Duke in Blue, produced by Delfeayo, will make you feel as good about the blues as you can.
Jymie Merritt
May 3, 1926-April 10, 2020
Jymie, a bassist, was a member of The Jazz Messengers from 1958 to 1964. He also worked as a sideman for B.B. King, Chet Baker, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie and others. Jymie was also a pioneer of the electric bass.
John Paul "Bucky" Pizzarelli
January 9, 1926-April 1, 2020
Bucky's guitar work is legendary. His list of collaborators includes Les Paul, Stephane Grappelli and Antonio Carlos Jobim. He is the father of John, a jazz guitarist and vocalist; Mary, a classical guitarist; and Martin, a bassist. While Googling around, I visited John's website and found this quote: "A week to the day after my father, Bucky, passed at 94, my mother, Ruth, passed away. I am certain Bucky called for her. She was the best Mommy and held down the fort of four headstrong kids and a man with a passion for the guitar that was unending."
Wallace Roney
May 25, 1960-March 31, 2020
Wallace was 59 and had a career that many 90-year old musicians can only dream of. He was a Berklee graduate that played on 22 albums as a leader and many others as a sideman. He had an elite crew of teachers that included Clark Terry, Dizzy and Miles.

I love taking road trips with my family. Some of my very favorite family memories were made in the car in the middle of nowhere as we traveled to our destination. Also, some of my least favorite family memories are made in the car on those road trips due to the whole being stuffed in a tiny space together for long periods of time without anything to do but look out the window or maybe at a screen.
I've seen lots of great road trip games and ideas, but the one that we really love to do is to have the girls keep vacation journals. They really love them, especially at the beginning of road trips, and enjoy keeping a personal record of the things that they see and do. Their interest wanes a bit—usually on the way back home—but I'm thankful for any time that it keeps them occupied!
But I'm most thankful for the record of the vacation through the eyes of my children.
I usually buy simple composition notebooks to use as their vacation journals. They're super inexpensive, and you can find them almost anywhere that school supplies are sold.
For our Epic Vacation of 2012 (which I never did finish blogging about, sigh), I actually found some composition notebooks by Mead called "Primary Journal: early creative story tablet" that were perfect for our vacation journals! Each page includes a space to draw a picture and then has lines underneath where they can write about it.
You can purchase these notebooks here: Early Creative Story Tablets.
I can't find Sophia's anymore—she was 6 years old at the time—but I do still have Bria's and Chloe's. Bria was 11 and Chloe was 9. I think it's so much fun to compare the things they wrote and drew with the photos I took with my camera, and even the things I wrote in my blog.
The thing about creating memories is that you always have to record them, too. I can't tell you how many times I've opened up an old journal and read about an experience I had completely forgotten. These vacation journals will be a way to remember all the little moments that make a vacation wonderful—especially since they're through the eyes of children!

The increased combat capabilities of Kyiv will have to be shortened by the new "geographical approach" of the RF Armed Forces
As expected, the receipt by the Armed Forces of American missile systems with a range of 300 kilometers significantly changed the situation on the South-Eastern Front. Rockets fired by the Ukrainian military from the HIMARS MLRS hit the bridge across the Dnieper, as well as the 48Y6-K1 Podlet radar station, located in the Kherson region, that is, on the territory controlled by Russian troops. Unpleasant for us, but the undeniable success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave Kyiv a reason to talk about attacks on the Crimea, the Crimean bridge and the destruction of the remnants of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.
"Long arm" of Kyiv
From the very beginning of the special military operation, all military experts and just sane people spoke and wrote that it was necessary to cut off the flow of arms supplies from the NATO bloc for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroying the railway transport infrastructure in Western Ukraine. It was obvious that their striking power would grow continuously, from light "shooters" to long-range missile systems and modern air defense systems.
And so it happened. First, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received the HIMARS MLRS, but with ammunition that had a range of destruction of "only" 70 kilometers. This already made it possible for the Ukrainian military to hit targets in the Donbass, being at a safe distance from the artillery of the RF Armed Forces and the NM LDNR. Now Nezalezhnaya has received rockets for HIMARS, which are capable of flying up to 300 kilometers. And this completely changes the whole pattern in the southeastern theater of operations.
Today, July 20, 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully hit the bridge over the Dnieper, as well as the Russian radar station 48Ya6-K1 Podlet. The latter is very annoying, since "Podlyot" is a universal mobile solid-state three-coordinate radar station with all-round visibility phased array and detection of air targets at low and extremely low altitudes in a difficult jamming environment. It was developed for issuing target designation data to the best domestic S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, put into service in 2015. And this radar station, which is an integral part of the layered air defense system, was so casually destroyed by the APU with an American missile?
Natural questions arise, how strong is our "anti-aircraft umbrella" in general. The Russian air defense system is considered, if not the best, but one of the best in the world. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation can build a layered air defense system: long-range - S-300 or S-400, medium - "Buk-M2" or "Buk-M3" and short-range - "Pantsir-S1" or "Tor-M2". However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already got the hang of punching it in a simple way. First, they hit with conventional long-range Soviet-made MLRS, forcing the air defense systems to spend their ammunition on them, and then they launch HIMARS missiles into this "window" that has formed.
The appearance of American missiles with a range of 300 kilometers near Kyiv made the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Volodymyr Gavrilov, who threatened to destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet based in Sevastopol, get excited:
The Russian Black Sea Fleet is a constant threat. Given the new Technology and the opportunities that we have received, we must deal with this threat. Sooner or later this fleet will be our target.
The Ukrainian deputy minister also promised to return Crimea, demanding that Russia "de-occupy" the peninsula if it wants to preserve its statehood:
Crimea is Ukrainian territory, so any target located there is legitimate for us ... Russia must leave Crimea if it wants to remain a country.
Naturally, there will be no "de-occupation" of Crimea, but with the help of American missiles, the Armed Forces of Ukraine can really create a lot of serious problems for us. In particular, the priority goal for Kyiv, and this is directly confirmed in the Ukrainian capital, is the Crimean bridge. Where can a rocket fly out to hit a bridge crossing?
If you look at the map, it turns out that the distance between Kerch and, say, Zaporozhye, is only 294 kilometers. That is, an American missile reaches the bridge very close. But after all, HIMARS can be quickly rolled up and closer, far from the entire Zaporozhye region has been liberated. The same trouble is with Sevastopol, where the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is based: the distance from Nikolaev, occupied by Ukraine, to the main base of the navy in the region is only 289 kilometers.
Geographic approach
Geography is inexorable: while Zaporizhia is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Crimea and its famous bridge crossing are within the radius of destruction of American missiles, the same is true for a bunch of cities Nikolaev - Sevastopol.
And here I would like to draw attention to the changed rhetoric of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. When it really smelled of fried food, Sergey Lavrov announced a change in "geographical approaches to the special operation":
When there was a meeting of negotiators in Istanbul, there was one geography, and our readiness to accept the Ukrainian proposal was based on that geography, on the geography of the end of March 2022… Now the geography is different. This is far from being only the DPR and LPR, it is also the Kherson region, the Zaporozhye region and a number of other territories, and this process continues, and continues consistently and persistently ...
Because we cannot allow the part of Ukraine that Zelensky will control or whoever will replace him to have weapons that will pose a direct threat to our territory and the territory of those republics that have declared their independence, those who want to determine their future on one's own.
Well, it took some less than five months for the obvious things to reach the offices where fateful decisions are made. But what kind of new solutions will they be? Run all over Ukraine, looking for and destroying HIMARS? It is the treatment of the symptoms, but not the cause of the disease. There are two reasons for it: the presence of a hostile Russophobic regime in power in Kyiv and the common border of Nezalezhnaya with Poland, Romania, Moldova and a number of other European countries. And it's a no brainer that it is necessary to destroy the railway infrastructure in Western Ukraine, so that it would become difficult to obtain at least new installations and ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And, of course, it is necessary to move the line of contact continuously to the west, to the border with Poland.
But will there be real changes in the strategy of the RF Armed Forces? Or will everything again remain at the level of diplomatic "concerns", turning into puzzlement and ineffective fuss?

All these are palliative measures in essence. And we need radical, that is, a threat, I emphasize so far only a threat, the use of vigorous loaves. They need to be slowly pulled up to the theater. In addition, it is necessary to speed up the commissioning of laser installations in the Caucasus as much as possible, which, as stated, are capable of "blinding" American reconnaissance satellites. But their use should not be only a threat. From the moment you start the installation, you should immediately start working

Quite right, to declare war on the Ukrainian regime, then certain consequences already arise, because during a war between states, any help from one of the parties is considered entry into the war ... Therefore, the United States and others, while continuing military and other assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will be considered participants war with all its consequences. Why war was not proclaimed to Ukraine last Friday at an extraordinary meeting of the Duma is not clear. Perhaps the West promised something, but perhaps they were delighted with the promises ...

NWO is on, and the country lives a normal life. A declaration of war means the transfer of the entire economy to war footing, general mobilization, censorship, the abolition of guaranteed peacetime rights, and much more.
And what is preferable, temporary hardships or a loss to Ukraine, or rather to the West, with further consequences, up to huge indemnities and the restoration of Ukrainian regions under duress. Then censorship and other losses, even unprecedented poverty, will be a reality imposed by the winning west. (What happened after the Crimean War. 1854-55). At least turn on your brains
1. The commanders of the troops are no more stupid than "experts" and sane people and understand the need to cut off the flow of arms supplies from the NATO bloc for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
If this is not done, then there is a good reason for that, and it seems that the reason is the re-qualification of the NMD for a war with Ukraine, which the political leadership of the Russian Federation is not ready to do.
2. No matter how perfect the weapon is, it is controlled by people. Without the presence of a person, the 48Y6-K1 "Approach" radar cannot detect the threat autonomously and cannot destroy it, and people can simply "oversleep".
3. There is no impenetrable defense, just as there is no absolute weapon. Defense and offense go hand in hand throughout history. If today one of them breaks ahead, then tomorrow they will catch up with him.
4. changing the "geographical approaches to the special operation" will not change anything at all - the shelling of the territories occupied during the NVO will continue, no matter how far the line of contact between the warring parties goes.
There is no political solution in sight, unless the Russian Federation accepts Ukraine's condition and withdraws the army from its territory, including the DPR-LPR, Crimea, and pays the amount of reparations assigned by Ukraine.
5. Therefore, it seems that the NWO can end only through the deprivation of Ukraine of statehood, which is possible only through complete occupation or its partition with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary - members of the EU=NATO, which automatically leads to the recognition of new borders of the EU and NATO.
The reason is purely political. However, the destruction of the railway infrastructure on the territory of ZU does not mean retraining for war. Why would?
Do you think that this radar was alone there? Why would? I'm afraid we just haven't been told everything.
Be consistent in your own logic. The exit of the NWO to the Polish border, which I have been writing about for 5 months, is the only and no alternative solution.
Exactly. True, recognition is not necessarily automatic. It can also be suspended indefinitely.

the destruction of the railway infrastructure on the territory of ZU does not mean retraining for war
This is with regard to Ukraine, but if Ukraine destroys the Crimean bridge or the Volga-Don Canal, will this reclassify the NWO as a war?
Do you think that this radar station was there alone?
It may very well be that there is no multiple overlap of air defense zones of echeloned defense as in Moscow or Syria in the Donbas. Even if there is, then air defense is not only a radar.
Access to the Polish border was not originally planned, and today it seems impossible. Perhaps the deprivation of statehood in some other way.
recognition is not necessarily automatic
If Poland annexes Galicia, and Hungary Transcarpathia, then all EU=NATO members will not recognize this and condemn it? And if they recognize it, they will be forced to recognize a similar expansion of the borders of the Russian Federation.

For four months now, Russia has been trying with a small group with a limited range of capabilities to prove to itself and to the whole world that in less than five to seven years we will demilitarize all local fortified areas and move the front line so many kilometers that American missiles will fly to targets on our and the liberated territory for a couple of minutes longer.

Not laughingly will be turned away. And in general, talking about the "outcast" resembles children's insults, when they are not allowed into the sandbox, and they do not want to be friends. Everyone will not turn away. We have personnel, production, resources, energy, science, education, food security. There is experience in restoring the country. We will develop any technology. Only the country, represented by the leadership, must decide on the Goal and ideology. Money is needed only in the form of currency for the acquisition of the most critical goods for the implementation of technology. And finances are very well described in the article "The Paradoxical Financial System of the USSR". By the way, a very interesting article, I advise you to read it. Only it is necessary to nationalize the subsoil, large strategic sectors of processing and production. In private hands, leave some trade, hairdressing, something from the light, food industry, various services. And, accordingly, ask the oligarchs and capitalists to come out.
Considering that in Ukraine there are, however, quite a few supporters of the SVO, I believe that our intelligence always has on the table exhaustive information on the whereabouts of all this Western junk. Well, I am absolutely sure of this. And, I am more than sure, a considerable part of this information is first-hand - both from the operators of these systems, and from, you may be surprised, from their suppliers.
A hundred poods, don't go to a fortuneteller, pindogenerals barry with weapons systems to the left, and in Ukraine they are stupidly written off as irretrievable losses, who will check something. Accordingly, the opposite side, most likely, has a certain gesheft from this.

Which proves the fact that Russia is not looking for a purely military victory. Russia is fighting not even at half strength, but in a very dosed way, so that it would achieve certain successes, like the capture of cities, but with minimal losses and stretched out in time.
If Russia needed a purely military victory, then the NWO would turn into a high-intensity operation, involving a group of up to 500 people (conscripts would also be included). Entire regiments of Tu-000s would be involved, which would plow trenches in the main directions with carpet bombing. Entire airborne brigades would have been dropped into key positions behind enemy lines, the MTR would have been a nightmare for the rear and communications, breakthroughs would have occurred in massive mechanized forces to a great depth. Zaluzhny and most of the command staff, the governors of regions and cities, would have been destroyed. Zelensky would be chased by the Aerospace Forces, not with the aim of killing, but driving him so that he would be afraid of everyone who could give out his location. They would announce a reward for his coordinates. Television centers and all media would be calibrated. The surrounding areas are de-energized. It would be a real war, swift and effective.
But Russia does not need such a victory. We are fighting not for the territory of Ukraine, but against the Kyiv regime. The fact that Ukraine will lose territories in favor of Russia is the merit of Ukraine itself. But it is not worth thinking that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation cannot break the neck of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a week and a half. The speed of progress matches the speed of the political and economic changes that will ultimately shape the Russian victory. The US and the EU, they just really want to provoke Russia to the above actions. Their clocks are ticking.

Tables Turned: Judge OKs Christian Baker Jack Phillips To Sue Colorado For Anti-Christian Hostility
Tim Brown January 8, 2019
No doubt, Christian baker Jack Phillips, who made headlines because he simply refused to bake a cake for a sodomite couple who wanted to "get married," has now been given the OK by a US District Court judge to continue a lawsuit against Colorado and its Civil Rights Commission over their unconstitutional attack on him and his business.
In an order issued on Friday by Judge Wiley Y. Daniel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, Phillips was allowed to pursue his lawsuit against the state.
Christian Post reports:
In his order, Judge Daniel did grant the Civil Rights Division Director Aubrey Elenis' motion to dismiss Phillips' claims against them for compensatory, punitive and nominal damages, and the motion to dismiss Phillips' claims for prospective relief against Governor John Hickenlooper.
However, Daniel denied the motion to dismiss the other aspects of Phillips' litigation, among them being his claim of having the standing to sue the defendants and Attorney General Cynthia Coffman's motion to dismiss the claims against her.
The judge cited the ruling by the US Supreme Court in Phillips' favor in June 2018 which said that the Colorado Civil Rights Division and the Colorado Civil Rights Commission treated him with hostility "inconsistent with the First Amendment's guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion."
Even after Phillips won the case before the Supreme Court, the Division went after him again because he turned down a different customer based on their gender confused status.
Growing weary of the lawlessness of the state's attacks on him, Phillips filed suit against them for violating his rights of free exercise of religion and free speech, as well as the protections he is entitled to under the Fourteenth Amendment to due process and equal protection under the law.
Phillips has asked for more than an upholding of his rights. He also asked to be awarded injunctive relief, declaratory judgment and monetary compensation, as he justly deserves, including from the sodomites who wrongly accused him.
Alliance Defending Freedom represented Phillips in the Supreme Court case. On Monday, the organization issued a statement saying, "Colorado is acting in bad faith and with bias toward Jack."
"The same agency that the Supreme Court rebuked as hostile to Jack Phillips has remained committed to treating him unequally and forcing him to express messages that violate his religious beliefs," said ADF Senior Counsel Jim Campbell, who argued before the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on Dec. 18. "Colorado is acting in bad faith and with bias toward Jack. We look forward to moving forward with this lawsuit to ensure that Jack isn't forced to create custom cakes that express messages in conflict with his faith."
Campbell went on to write:
The district court ruled in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Elenis that evidence of unequal treatment remains. While the state "allow[s] other cake artists to decline requests to create custom cakes that express messages they deem objectionable and would not express for anyone," Colorado treats Phillips differently. This "disparate treatment," the court said, "reveals" the state officials' ongoing "hostility towards Phillips, which is sufficient to establish they are pursuing the discrimination charges against Phillips in bad faith, motivated by Phillips'…religion…."
After an attorney who targeted Phillips complained to the state about Phillips' decision not to create a cake designed pink on the inside and blue on the outside to celebrate and reflect a gender transition, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission—the same state agency that lost its case against Phillips at the Supreme Court in June—filed a formal complaint against him. The attorney who requested the gender-transition cake later asked Phillips to design a cake with satanic themes and images—a request that Phillips also declined because of what the cake would communicate.
"Jack serves all customers, and he is even happy to serve the attorney who lodged the complaint against him," Campbell explained. "But Jack doesn't create custom cakes that express messages or celebrate events in conflict with his deeply held beliefs. He can't get a fair shake before the state commission. A commissioner set to decide the state's new case against Jack has publicly referred to him as a 'hater' on Twitter, one of several indications of the commission's ongoing bad faith toward him and his beliefs."
ADF argues that the state is violating Phillips' First Amendment free exercise of religion rights by continuing to treat him differently than other cake artists and by acting with hostility toward him and his faith. ADF is also arguing that the state is infringing Phillips's free speech and due process rights, and that the commission's adjudicative process is flawed because the same commissioners act as both accusers and adjudicators in the same case, an arrangement that the Supreme Court condemned in a 2016 decision.
Over his years as a cake artist, Phillips has declined to create cakes with various messages that violate his faith, including messages that demean LGBT people, express racism, celebrate Halloween, promote marijuana use, and celebrate or support Satan.
This is the only way to deal with the lawless people. Bringing the law to bear on their crimes and making them pay for it is very biblical and Christian. It complies with God's law. Can Jack Phillips forgive the individuals who are a part of this? Of course, if they are repentant, but he is under no obligation to just sit back and take this tyrannical abuse.
Perhaps, when he wins again, the citizens of Colorado's pocketbooks will be hit hard enough that they will seek to eliminate such lawless people from holding office in their state, but I wouldn't count on it. Still, Phillips' stand is not just for himself. He is seeking to honor God in the process, ensure that his business continues and is actually standing up for the rights of all Americans.
