Naturally, Saul is afraid, and because he is afraid, he does something that he knows is wrong. He offers the sacrifices himself. Is this understandable? Does that make it right? Absolutely not! In fact, this is one of the characteristics of fear that we need to watch out for: it makes sin appear excusable. However, God does not want us to show fear in doing wrong.
He wants us to show faith in continuing to do right. Samuel appears just as he finishes the burnt offerings. Remember how the rule of fear is that you bring the fear upon you? Look at it here. Saul offered the sacrifices because he was afraid of losing his kingdom.
Now, Samuel tells him that because he offered the sacrifices, he will lose his kingdom. Because of his sin, Saul must face the very thing he was afraid of. Our second illustration is Zedekiah. Here, turn with me to Jeremiah Fear is contagious - Deuteronomy Because of fear many will not become a child of God. Because of fear many will not grow and apply themselves to new service.
Because of fear, many will lose their souls - Revelation We want others to think well of us, so we fear doing things that others may not like. So many go into sin because those around them are joining in - Proverbs Peter denied knowing Jesus because of those around him - Matthew John - Joseph was a secret disciple. He was too scared of the opinions of others to confess Christ. Romans - Salvation, though, comes by making a public stand. John - Yet some value their position with man more than their position with God.
They fear what might change. Matthew - Jesus was maligned and we will be too, but we should not fear man, because God is watching over us. Pain and discomfort. We would rather avoid a confrontation. The Israelites would attack Jeremiah, but he was not to show fear - Jeremiah We must be faithful, even unto death - Revelation With God on our side, man can only do limited things to us - Psalms Though we understand that all must die, at least in theory, we do not like to apply the concept to ourselves.
We do not have authority over death - Ecclesiastes Death is scary because it involves the unknown. It moves us out of our familiar surroundings. We cannot reverse it and try again later if it is not to our liking. Others fear death because they know they are not prepared. Still not as good though, jus doesnt feel as polished. Sash , Feb 10, Yeah dont worry.
It's nothing urgent. It actually plays well enough. I dont mind waiting. For work, music, internet browsing etc vista is actually a really nice os to use. Jus not great in the game department.
I dont expect it to be either for quite a while longer. Daemon , Feb 10, I am actualy finding that it is beter in vista over XP. In game it is the same over 30fps at all times in both but I notice that my FRAPS numbers are higher by a few points aswell.
The only game that runs lower for me so far has been Counter Strike Source went from This is all of course after I installed the 7. It actually runs nicely now that ive soted out the settings. I only play online so i have configured the settings as i had on xp everything on ful accept AA x and it runs nicely. As i said still doesnt feel as polished, but plays perfectly fine. Im actually suprised how well it runs considering how new vista actually is. Gates will stay on as Microsoft Chairman and - even though it will no longer be sold at retail - large companies can still get Windows XP, and Microsoft will continue to offer XP tech support through April Vendors of some low power laptops, such as the Asus Eee PC will be able to continue to offer XP for the next two years.
By dropping XP from mainstream PCs, Microsoft is pretty much forcing most consumers who need a new PC to migrate to Windows Vista, and there are some people who simply don't want to make the switch. Standing in the computer aisle at an electronics store this weekend, I overheard a woman asking the salesperson if she could buy a PC with XP.
He said no. I then asked the woman why she wanted XP rather than Vista and she expressed two concerns. The first was that she was already acquainted with XP and didn't want to learn a new operating system. The second was her worry that some of her software or devices wouldn't work with Vista.
Another common concern is that Vista takes up too much computing power and might not work as well or as fast as XP. Personally, I'm not particularly concerned about any of these issues, and I recommend most people just go with Vista.
I've been using it since before it came out and I'm pretty happy with it. As for the would-be XP-buyer's first concern; I feel her pain.
