The Dunamis Word: In Memory Of Bishop Chandler D. Owens

Wow. I just found out from Elder Harvey Burnett's blog that Bishop Own died today. I hadn't heard that. He was presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ from 1995-2000. Elder Burnett posted some good information about him. I think it's well worth going to Elder Burnett's post and learning more about Bishop Owen. I've known of about 4 people who died in the past 2 weeks. Christians face death in a different way than unbelievers do. The Bible does not tell us not to grieve, but instead we don't grieve the way the world does:


13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14


Don't get me wrong it can be easy to forget that especially when it is a close loved one and you are experience the pain of the loss, however we still have hope because we know the one who conquered death.

Zooming and panning in Windows Forms with Fixed focus - CodeProject

Introduction to the article

I have found quite a few articles about zooming into a fixed point. I have also tried many solutions, but none of them worked. Many of them resized the PictureFrame so that it eventually would overlap other parts of the screen and none of them could keep the focus point. I then created my own solution that actually works. When zooming it does keep the same zoom point at all zoom levels.

Mithra? Attis? Really, Rob Bell?

James White has posted a video response to videos by Rob Bell. One of the things I appreciate about Dr. James White is always clear about what core message of Christianity - the Gospel - is and tries to not let his traditions and thoughts enter into the presentation of what the Bible says. This should be done when discussing anything dealing with such matters as history and the origins of Christianity. This video also gives Dr White's insights into how to answer the charges that Mithra and Attis were archetypal Christs even as he unpacks Rob Bell's explanations.
