Given the small number of NAION events with PDE5 use (less than 1 in 1 million), the large number of users of PDE5 inhibitors (millions) and the fact that this event occurs in a similar population to those who do not take these medicines, the FDA concluded that they were not able to draw a cause and effect relationship, given these patients underlying vascular risk factors or anatomical defects.

Even Saul Alinsky's own son has said Obama is a disciple of his father. There has even been attempt to assail the cross of Jesus Christ and reduce the Lord and Savior to a mere community organizer, thus elevating Obama to Christlike status. This is the most troubling aspect of all of Barack Obama's suspect associations in his past. If words do matter, as I will agree with Obama that they do, then Obama has been influenced by Saul Alinsky, a man who praised Lucifer. Christians continue to support Barack Obama and his assault on historic Christianity. Time is running out to convince them of the dangers of voting for such a man. God is in control and Christians in America may need a truly evil man as President to wake them up to their worldiness and the evil they are helping to propagate.
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy.

Nearly 1 in 2 people in the USA have a chronic illness and about 96% of it invisible. Are these women attending your church retreats? Many of them are suffering silently, depressed, isolated, and feeling very alone. Others are some of the wisest, calming, most spiritually beautiful women who will touch attendees at your retreat in ways no planned speaker can. But are any of them coming?
Rest Ministries is the largest Christian organization that serves the chronically ill, and they recently surveyed 20 people about the specifics of attending a retreat while living with illness. Out of the twenty respondents, seventeen attend retreats less since their diagnosis. When asked why, they shared the following:
Three explained, "Accessibility issues (It's difficult to get to and from buildings at the retreat)"; 6 people responded, "The pain factor. It's just too draining"; 4 shared, "The unpredictable health issues"; and 10 said, "A combination of the above."
So, how could you encourage women with chronic illness to get involved in your church retreat?
1. When planning the retreat ask a lot of questions about the retreat center and promote that you have this information before people register
For example, ask the retreat center personnel about factors such as: Are the hills steep? Are there carts available for transportation? How far are the rooms from the main meeting center? Is there seating available other then collapsible metal folding chairs? What about elevators? One woman shares, "I stopped going a year or so ago because the retreat planner does not tell you what is expected, or about walking, stairs, etc. They need to be more honest." Those with chronic illness typically look for retreat centers held in locations where little walking is necessary and preferably the ground is flat. Large homes or hotels are also good options. While it's easy for a retreat planner to assume that fifty yards is a "short walking distance," fifty steps may be exhausting for some people. So provide the actual distances on your promotional flyer. Don't just write "Rooms are a short walking distance from the main building."
2. Understand that women desire to go on retreats and socialize with others, but they must feel that the retreat planner understands that they will be on their own schedule
Margaret, who lives with a malignant brain tumor and uterine cancer says, "I don't attend because people don't want to understand or accept that sometimes I have to retreat from the 'retreat.' Sometimes I have to go back to my room and get some rest. Other people decide that I'm escaping from my problems, and demand that I participate in whatever event was planned. I'm not trying to be anti-social. I will participate when God enables me to do so; but at the same time, when God tells me to rest, I must rest despite what the [retreat] 'timetable' states." As a retreat planner you can help this by posting the retreat's schedule at least a week before the event on the church's web site.
3. While you are deciding events such as ice-breakers or fun games, make sure there is something that those with physical limitations can participate in if they choose
If they don't want to participate in the relay race of dressing in costumes, let them do their own thing. Debbie, who lives with chronic fatigue syndrome says, "Unfortunately, I've yet to find a retreat planner who understands that I do not participate--not because I'm being uncooperative, shy or anti-social--but because I simply cannot physically do so; the result is that I don't attend church retreats."
4. Don't gasp when you see all the stuff she has packed
All women have necessities they pack to make their weekend more comfortable. For the chronically ill these typically include: their own bedding, chair cushions, pillows, snacks, pain patches, eye shades to sleep, or a flashlight and book to read in case she is awake all night. They may bring bottled water, the biggest collection of medication you've ever seen (don't comment), and perhaps even a service dog (which she should ask you about before the event.)
5. Despite your best intentions, remember that she knows her body better than you do, and she's able to plan for her best experience
Riding on the bus with everyone else, for example, may put her in a great deal of pain the entire weekend. So if she requests a ride in a car with a staff member, make that accommodation. If she puts on a headset to listen to music, don't take it personally that she isn't talking. She may need to rejuvenate so that she is able to socialize that evening. She also may need to eat. If she is diabetic, she will likely need to eat small snacks and meals throughout the weekend. Don't tell her, "Dinner it is in just thirty minutes, so please wait so you can eat with us."
6. Take her requests in stride without thinking she is being a prima donna
She may be insisting that she have the bottom bunk bed and then pull out her own mattress, but it's not because she is the Princess and the Pea. She may have some needs that are medical requirements. For example, electricity in her room is necessary if she uses something like a CCAP machine for sleep apnea. (Out of 20 women surveyed, 2 used this). Her medications may also need to be refrigerated and an ice pack won't do the job, so she may need access to the retreat center kitchen or a staff member. Sheryl, who lives with chronic myofascial pain says, "Make sure there are always chairs available for those who can't stand more than a couple of minutes." You may not see a cane or walker, but her feet, knees or balance may not be able to take more than a couple of minutes standing.
7. Realize that she may not want others to know about her illness
Marjorie says, "When an explanation is given in confidence, don't react so that everyone present knows that I have a problem," and Anjuli, who has congenital myopathy (a form of Muscular Dystrophy) agrees. "Don't single me out!"
8. Make scholarships available
Financial constraints often hold many women with illness back from attending. Let them know costs may be covered.
9. Delegate someone to oversee the necessities of your chronically ill attendees
The best person to choose may be your "healthiest" volunteer who has a chronic illness yourself, or a cancer survivor. This person would communicate with those who are attending and do the best they can to meet their needs and concerns. The women who responded to the Rest Ministries' survey still attend church retreats and typically approach the planner of the retreat before the event and discussed their health issues. But dozens of others who would like to attend simply assume that the church is unable to accommodate their needs, and they never ask if they might attend. Try to reach out to the women who assume they are unable to go. One way may be by putting a special line on your promotional flyer that says, "Do you live with chronic illness? Ask us about our special accommodations! We would love to see you there!"
One of the most overlooked gifts in our church are those who live with chronic illness or pain. Despite their daily suffering, they have a great deal of wisdom and joy for the Lord. National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week is September 8-14, and is sponsored by Rest Ministries. It's a wonderful opportunity to look at your ministry's priorities. Who is not being served who could use your encouragement? And who lives with an illness and is missing out on serving others because they are not connected to the church? Get them involved! One day, one of them may be your retreat speaker.

We often assume that the chronically ill are in the minority, however, you may be surprised to know that nearly 1 in 2 people in the USA have a chronic illness and about 96% of it is invisible. Are these women attending church retreats? Too many of them are suffering silently. They are depressed, isolated, and sometimes questioning if God really cares. Others, you will find, are some of the wisest, joyful, and spiritually mature women you will ever meet. They will touch your retreat attendees in ways that even the planned speaker will not. But are any of them coming?
Rest Ministries, which is the largest Christian organization that serves the chronically ill, recently did a survey about attending retreats while living with a chronic illness. Out of the 20 respondents, 17 reported that they participated less in retreats since their diagnosis. When asked why the responses were:
Three said, "Accessibility issues (I know I can't easily get to and from different buildings at the retreat)"; 6 people reported, "The pain factor. It's just too draining"; 4 responded, "The unpredictable health issues"; and 10 said, "A combination of the above."
So, how can you reach out to these women and get them involved in your church retreat?
1. When planning the retreat ask a lot of questions about the retreat center and promote that you have this information before people register
How steep are the hills? Are ride-in carts available? How far are the rooms from the main meeting center? Is electricity in the rooms? Are there only bunk beds? Can someone have a private room? Are there chairs besides the metal folding chairs? Elevators? One woman shares, "I stopped going a year or so ago because the retreat planner does not tell you what is expected, or about walking, stairs, etc. They need to be more honest." Those who attend retreats look for locations that are held at retreat center without a lot of walking, and preferably flat ground. Hotels or a large home are nice too. While you may think fifty yards is a "short distance," fifty steps may be one's limit. Provide actual distances on your flyer, not just "rooms are a short walking distance."
2. Understand that women desire to go on retreats and socialize with others, but they must feel that the retreat planner understands that they will be on their own schedule

4. Don't gasp at all they pack
All women may have necessities that they pack to make their weekend more comfortable. But for those with chronic illness this may also include: different forms of bedding, cushions for chairs, special pillows, dozens of snacks, pain patches, shades to sleep, and a flashlight and a book to read if they can't sleep. They may bring special water, the biggest pill box of medication you've ever seen (don't comment), and maybe even a service dog (which she should have spoken to you about in advance).
5. Despite your best intentions, remember that she knows her body better than you do, and she's able to plan for her best experience
She realizes that riding a bus to the retreat center may throw her back out the whole weekend, so if she can go in a car with a staff member that modification is very beneficial. If she wears ear plugs or listens to music, don't take it personally. She may need to save her strength to socialize that evening. If she is diabetic, she may be eating small meals or snacks throughout the day. Don't comment, "Oh, we're going to be eating in thirty minutes, so why don't you just wait."
6. Recognize that she's not being a prima donna; take her requests in stride
She isn't asking for the bottom bunk and bringing her bedding because she is the Princess and the Pea. She may have some required needs. For example, electricity is a medical requirement, not a wish, for women who use a CCAP machine for sleep apnea (2 women out of our responses of 20 use one). Refrigeration of medications may also be necessary, so don't tell her to just find an ice pack for her room. Her medication could be ruined so she may need access to a staff member who can get into the kitchen. Sheryl, who has chronic myofascial pain reminds us, "Make sure there are always chairs available for those who can't stand more than a couple of minutes." Don't assume just because you don't see a cane, means she is fine.
7. Respect her privacy
Anjuli, who has congenital myopathy (a form of Muscular Dystrophy) says, "Don't single me out!" and Marjorie agrees. "When an explanation is given in confidence, don't respond so much that everyone knows that I have a problem."
8. Have scholarships available
Most people with illness are on a very limited budget. These women, however, are often too proud to ask for financial assistance for something they consider "frivolous"--which it is compared to paying for their monthly medication. Let them know scholarships are available.
9. Delegate someone to oversee the necessities of your chronically ill attendees
Choose your "healthiest" person with a chronic illness, or a cancer survivor, to communicate with those with illness and listen to their needs and concerns. The women who responded to the survey still do attend retreats and most say they approach the retreat planner ahead of time about their health issues. But for the dozens of others who would like to attend, but assume you are unable to accommodate their needs, they never contact the church. Try to reach the women who assume they are unable to go, by putting a special line on your promotional flyers that say, "Coping with chronic illness? Ask us about our special accommodations! We'd love to have you come!"
One of the most valuable gifts in our church that we often overlook is the wisdom and joy of those who live with chronic illness and oftentimes daily pain, and love God anyways. September 8-14 is National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week, sponsored by Rest Ministries. It's a perfect opportunity to take a second look at your ministry's priorities and discover who is not being served who could use your encouragement. And don't forget to also include the chronically ill because the church is missing out on their joy in the Lord, despite their suffering. Get them involved in a retreat soon! One of them may just be your next speaker.

Clearly Ball is teaching us here that when the Law lies in the context of the Gospel, the Law is not in anti-thesis to the Gospel. Because Christ has done all we live and in living we do. It is only when the Law is embraced without the Gospel that the Law is in anti-thesis to the Gospel creating the climate of legalism. Ball teaches here that a Gospel without a law (third use) is not the Gospel.
This is consistent with the Heidelberg Catechism where in the Second part the Gospel as our Deliverance is articulated. However the HC does not end with the Second part. It goes on to the third section that unfolds how the Gospel effects a persons life by laying out for us the law in the context of the Gospel. In the third section of the catechism the law is not in antithesis to the Gospel, but is propelled out of it.
The Gospel frees us to take seriously the law using the motive of gratitude to awaken us to obedience. The law thus, in Balls words, remains a rule of life to a people in covenant directing them how to walk before God in holiness and righteousness, that they might inherit the promises of grace and mercy.
Now, is the directing of how to walk before God in holiness and righteousness limited to our personal individual ethics or does it also direct us in our ethics in the public square? Does the insistence of the Law that we should have no other God before us only mean that we shouldnt enter into idolatry in our personal lives, but does it also mean that we shouldnt tolerate or advocate political polytheism in the public square? Isnt the advocacy of some Christians that the public square be a place where all gods are invited and honored a disobedience to the first commandment? Does God really teach in natural law that the public square should be a place where the first commandment doesnt apply? Does Gods Natural law really teach that in the public square it is acceptable to have other gods competing with God?
If it does mean this then God should have been more clear in the first commandment of the Decalogue. What he should have said is
Thou shalt have no other gods before me in your personal individual lives or in the Church but in the public square you must make way for other gods and embrace polytheism.
