Are You Being Deceived?

Are You Being Deceived?

How many pages would it take to describe every well known deceiver currently operating in the world?

There is a very well known woman who is a very influential TV personality, celebrity, and bizillionaire who has gone the way Cain. She has been deceived or seduced by the idea that she can approach the Almighty God of creation through her own way. In spite of her 'wisdom' she has fallen for the same lie that fooled her great grandmother Eve. She is looking for that little god in herself and encouraging others to do the same thing. She has taken a spiritual mentor who speaks against the God of the Bible. She has been deceived herself. Now she is deceiving many others.

There are many so called Christian teachers who are teaching the same sort of heresy, or something equally blasphemous all in the name of Christ. (read 1 Timothy chapter 1)They have all taken the idea that the Christian can do all things through Christ and perverted it to a sort of 'god will do what you command him to do' theology. Who would a want a god they can boss around? It would be a pretty frail excuse for a god if it let a mortal tell it what to do. Never the less, such teachers are deceived and they are deceiving others.

Honestly, it isn't necessary that you learn the names of all those who have been deceived and fallen for the same line of baloney that Eve fell for. You just need to learn the lie, and how to avoid being deceived yourself. These teachers come and go throughout the centuries. They die in God's time. They stay dead. Their evil teachings may live on, but not through their own power. The evil teachings that oppose the God of Heaven are really the teachings of the father of lies, the devil. This liar, the adversary of God, really can only sing one song. His siren song is 'worship me, not God'. As liars do, Satan is not up front about what he wants from the individual. He 'repackages' his lies for every generation, and for every imaginable sub-culture, minority; ethnic, social, and economic group. He targets those mentioned in II Timothy chapter 3.

V. 1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
The term 'last days' may refer to the entire church age, which is the last age before the 1000 year kingdom foretold in the Bible. There certainly have been perilous times since the time of Christ. But today, the evil seems to be rapidly multiplying throughout all the world.

V. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Lovers of their own selves.
This describes a day when mothers will murder their own children because of the inconvenience caused by a child, or impatience with the behavior of the child. The world is full of 'covetous' people. They want what you have, but even worse, they don't want you to have anything. The boasters and the proud walk hand in hand. As proud people, they see no reason to respect the God who created them. They do not acknowledge His might or power. They reject the Holy Spirit's prompting them to be saved. They are disobedient to parents, rejecting the God their parents worshipped. They are thankful for nothing, and defile everything true and right with their wickedness. Mostly I suppose they don't love anything or anyone half as much as they love themselves.

V. 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
There is really no where to begin describing 'without natural affection'. Homosexuality is an obvious example, but there is so much more to that phrase. Parents abandon children. Spouses leave each other for someone else. Righteous behavior is abandoned if more money can be made through an unrighteous way of doing business. Trucebreakers will not stay in any agreement that requires them to live up to any promise. They excuse their wicked behavior by falsely accusing the innocent. They exercise no self control in any matter. They are brutal and ferocious in forcing their ideals on those around them. They hate anything to do with the truth of the Bible, and people who follow Jesus Christ. Families that love each other and are helpful to each other are laughed at. Grown children are pressured to be disrespectful to parents, and turn from all the teachings of their youth. To avoid being a helpful and involved grandparent a common excuse is, 'well - I raised my kids - and now they can raise theirs.' What a crock! I don't really know of anyone who actually raised their kids without some help from someone. (Here is a 'thank you' to grandparents who are actually raising grandchildren because of parents who have abandoned them. God bless you and help you.) I would like to encourage families to work at developing a family bond.

V. 4. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Those in government today have traitorously given away freedoms belonging to the citizens. These high minded people are elitists, believing their superior intellect makes it alright for them to discard the basis on which this nation was founded. As 'superior beings', they believe they are more appreciative of pleasures than the uneducated and inferior masses. They certainly would choose their pleasure above the pleasure of God.

V. 5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
As far from actually following the teachings of Jesus as they are, many STILL claim to be Christians even though they utterly reject every principle taught in the Bible. Islam rejects the virgin birth of Jesus Christ; that He is the son of God; and that He was crucified. If he was never crucified, they don't have to deal with His resurrection and ascension into heaven in front of witnesses. They also reject the trinity, saying their god has no son. Yet, many claim Christians and Moslems worship the same God. The ecumenical movement has stepped outside 'oneness in the Christian faith' and gone global. They want all religions to come together in the name of peace. They have no understanding that world peace is not an achievable goal. World peace will be a byproduct of hearts that freely choose and worship Jesus Christ.

V. 6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
This type of person can creep into houses very easily through the television, radio, and internet. (They got in before these things were invented, but perhaps it was harder.) Once inside, they lead captive silly women. I could write a book on 'silly women'. But, these particular 'silly women' are silly because they are carrying the load of their sins and the variety of lusts to which they are clinging. (A very prominent 'silly woman' is Nancy Pelosi. She thinks she is 'saving the planet' by placing burdens on the backs of those she is supposed to champion. Many 'silly women' have the 'little goddess complex', believing it is within their power to fix everything and save the world.) In clinging to their sins, they are behaving as though they lacked in intelligence. The devil loves to make contact with this type of woman or man. They are already looking for a way of salvation that does not require them to set aside behavior that the Bible calls sin.

V. 7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
This includes people who are following the 'name it and claim it' gospel; those who are following the 'path to enlightenment'; those who worship nature; and absolutely anything that does not teach that Jesus Christ is Lord.These are the people who have rejected God and gone their own way. They stand on the shifting sand that keeps the social, political, and religious world in turmoil.

V. 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Jannes and Jambres saw all the miracles that God did when Pharaoh would not let the Jews go free. They watched the Hebrew God defeat all the gods of Egypt through the plagues. Yet, they remained faithful to their 'lesser gods', because that was easier than repenting......

V. 9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
The day will come when God will put a stop to their evil behavior.
Next, the Apostle Paul speaks about his own life, and how the Lord delivered him out of persecution

V. 10. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

V. 11. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

This next verse is somewhat disconcerting. No one wants to suffer persecution; yet, Paul says all that live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer. Christians wonder what level of persecution they will personally face. Some will no doubt face persecution even to death. In America today it seems that Christians are facing being ostracized from all aspects of society and government. In fact, those who attempt to follow Christ according to strict Biblical interpretation, are even being ostracized from religion!

V. 12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

V. 13. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. We cannot look for the world to change. Evil becomes more evil. The theology being taught by the TV personality mentioned at the first of this article (obviously Oprah) has grown more apostate over the years. She is deceived by the father of lies, and she is deceiving others. If she were to repent tomorrow, and turn from her wickedness, there would be ten others rise up to take her place.

All these sins are things common to the non Christian. Without the God of the Bible to guide them and help them, they are easy prey for such foolish behavior. Practicing Christians have hope of living a better life. This Hope is not within us naturally, but it is a gift of God. Real Christians and so-called Christians can also fall into such foolish behavior if they are not careful to do the things the Bible says to do.

V. 14. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
A believer should continue to do what they have learned from Bible study and remain confident that the things in the Bible are from God.

V. 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
The Holy Scriptures can make even the most foolish wise. Lack of a knowledge of the Bible can make a fool of the most intelligent.

V. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Don't limit yourself to just part of the Bible. All the Bible is true, helpful, and good. I personally tend to 'hide out in Psalms'. I read Isaiah, Daniel, Genesis, the 4 Gospels, and Acts. Hebrews is pretty good to. I really have to make a point of reading the rest of it. I like those the best - but they don't tell everything.

V. 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
The more you know about the teachings of the Bible, the better off you will be. That means you soul will prosper. Your pocket book may or may not prosper.

There is never a day when a Christian can say, "I have arrived! I know what the Bible has to say. I am in no danger of falling into sin, or falling away from the God that I love.' We have to be vigilant every day to do the things that Christ says to do. It becomes more of a natural action, but no one is ever above sin.

I Peter 5:7-9 gives instructions regarding how to avoid falling into sin, or as the Apostle Paul said, 'becoming a castaway.'(I Corinthians 9:27)

V. 7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Take your problems to the Lord. He loves you, and He is the One who can help you. I think people fall into sin when they look for solutions from worldly sources instead of from God. Nations make pacts with idolatrous nations. People make pacts with non-Christians. Take you cares to God. Throw all your troubles on His shoulders. Some cares weigh more than others - and as such are sometimes quite hard to throw off your own shoulders onto the shoulders of the Lord, but it can be done.

V. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your advesary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Be aware of what is going on around you. It does matter when worldly practices are brought into the life of the individual Christian, the individual family, into the church, into society, and into government. That roaring lion is nibbling away at the people of God. As soon as he is strong enough, he will devour the individual, the family, the church, society, and the nation.

V. 9. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

There is comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your struggles. There is also 'strength in numbers'. The more Christians who steadfastly resist devil, the more difficult it is for him to make any headway with the individual or with society as a whole. (see James 4:7b)
Deceivers offer what appears to be pleasure, but it is only for a little season. Moses refused to accept what the world had to offer. Hebrews 11:24-25 says:

V. 24. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter

V. 25. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

V. 26. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Moses refused to be counted with the people of the world, but chose rather to be counted as one of the people of God. He saw the temporary nature of his position as a ruler of Egypt.

Moses saw his power and wealth as nothing compared to the riches he would gain through following God.

Does the world remember Moses today? Will the world remember the deceiving teachers and preachers of today in 4,000 years? Will the world still remember Moses when another 4,000 years has passed?

Does anyone doubt that Moses has an eternal reward so great that it cannot be measured? Can any deceiving teacher or preacher today offer rewards that can be carried from this life into the next?

Moses was not deceived himself. He did not deceive anyone else, but rather taught them the truths of God. Let all believers strive to avoid the fables of the deceivers and instead follow the example of Moses.

I don't know what the music of Moses' day was like, but if had had what is now the old fashioned hymnal, I think he would have loved these songs:

'I'd Rather Have Jesus' (I don't think Moses knew Jesus' name, but he believed in the promised Messiah - so Moses would have probably also liked 'I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb' -
'I Know Whom I Have Believed'
'I Surrender All'
'This World is Not My Home'
AND - 'My Sheep Know My Voice'

God's children who are listening to what He has to say know His Voice. His voice never says anything different than He has said in the Bible. They are not deceived by the promises of glitter, wealth, and fame. The follow the voice of the One they love the most.
So the song for this article is 'My Sheep Know My Voice.' It is beautiful when sung in four part harmony.
Thank you all for reading my very long article. God bless you.

My Sheep Know My Voice
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/m/y/mysheepk.htm
My sheep hear My voice, and the path that I take,
They follow wherever I go;
My sheep know My voice and come at my call,
But a stranger's voice do they not know.
Refrain
My sheep know My voice, and day by day
They abide in the fold and go not astray,
They love Me because I have made them my choice,
And they follow My call for My sheep know My voice.
My sheep know My voice, and the pastures of green,
Where I lead them so often to feed;
My sheep know My voice and the cool sparkling stream
Where beside its still waters I lead.
Refrain
My sheep know My voice, and the valley of death
Through which I shall lead them some day;
But no danger nor harm can touch one of them,
For I will be with them away.
Refrain

Fundamentals of the Christian Faith

Are You a Christian Fundamentalist?

Today, the Christian Fundamentalist is spoken of as a narrow minded bigot. Everybody knows it’s true. Actually, while everyone may 'know' it’s true that Christians Fundamentalists are bigots and narrow minded, most people have no idea exactly 'what' a Christian Fundamentalist actually believes.
So, I thought I would give you five fundamentals of the faith on which all Christians should be able to agree
1. The Bible is absolute truth without error.
2. Jesus is God, and certainly existed before His confinement on earth.
3. Jesus was born of a virgin.
4. Atonement or reconciliation with God requires a blood sacrifice – which was freely given by Jesus Christ at Calvary
5. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ

I see these fundamentals as just very basic Bible truths.
If you personally believe these things to be true, then you ARE a fundamentalist.

Can you find any bigotry or hatred in these fundamentals of the Christian faith?

Is there a rational reason in these fundamentals that causes people to hate and despise fundamentalists?

Those who reject these fundamentals are heretics who have departed from the faith and who were never actually of the household of faith. They will become, or already are, apostates who replace the truths of God with lies.

When you are trying to evaluate a bible teacher of preacher as speaking as one with authority coming from Bible knowledge, knowing the fundamentals of the faith will be a big help. If the preacher or teacher does not adhere strictly to these fundamentals of the faith – then go find someone who does.

Currently, there are many so called 'Christian Leaders' who do not accept these fundamental. Once such preacher is Rick Warren. Warren has said that fundamentalists will be the enemy of the 21st century. He says all fundamentalisms are based on fear. Warren also says he is not a fundamentalist.

The time has come spoken of in 2 Timothy when men will not endure sound doctrine, but instead turn from the truth to fables. There are many wolves in sheep's clothing, even many as bold as Warren, who call themselves Christians, but deny the most basic of Christian doctrines.

2 Timothy 3:1-7 says:
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

There is a very real reason the people spoken of in these verses never come to a real knowledge of the truth. It is because they are starting their quest by rejecting the fundamentals of the faith. That is like starting an algebra class while rejecting simple addition answers. If you insist that 2 + 2 is really 11 instead of 4, then you have rejected one of the most basic fundamentals of arithmetic! You have a faulty foundation, and will never do well in math.

Those who reject the fundamentals of faith will never come to a knowledge of the truth because they are looking for an answer that they like instead of actually looking for the truth.

Earthquake!

Ray Gano recently sent out a news article regarding the possibility of the New Madrid earthquake fault becoming active and producing at least one major earthquake some time in the future..
Here is the link to that article if you missed it. http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/is-the-new-madrid-fault-earthquake-zone-coming-to-life

You can’t ‘prepare’ for a major earthquake. In a tornado or hurricane there will be some warnings that a tornado might be going to hit, but an earthquake provides no advance warning. I wanted to give you all a few of my thoughts on an earthquake.

I lived in Anchorage Alaska on March 27, 1964. It was Good Friday, and my parents were going to take us to the movie! Then – the earth started to shake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Alaska_earthquake

Living in Alaska, we had been through smaller earthquakes, and they were nothing to get excited about. However, this earthquake was different in that it just kept on shaking. In fact it shook officially for around 5 minutes and is now counted as being a 9.2 magnitude quake. My family agrees that the ground didn’t actually stand still for a while after that. It was like the land was sitting on top of a bowl of Jell-O, and it just kept ‘jiggling’.

All of my family were in the same place when the quake began, so that was a wonderful blessing. Something very important would be that every family has a designated meeting place if a disaster of any kind should happen. Cell phones will be jammed and calls will be almost impossible to get through. When we lived in Texas just a major thunderstorm would pretty much make cell phones useless because everyone was trying to call family members and warn them or make sure they were aware of the approaching storm. After an earthquake, it might be hours before a call could get through, and that is supposing towers are still standing. A set meeting place would at least put worry to rest as soon as everyone could get there. You might want to have a secondary meeting place as well.

When the big earthquake hit Anchorage, Alaska, we only had a few high rise buildings, although there were a lot of people there. There were 2 military bases located at Anchorage as well. I don’t really remember, but I am sure both bases were put on alert, and at least key military personal were called in immediately. There was a new apartment building almost finished, and it was destroyed. A new department store was destroyed. And, many of the streets downtown sort of dropped down thirty feet or so. Mud spewed up in other places.

The loss of life from the actual earthquake itself was small, but lives were lost unnecessarily after the quake was over. People were afraid the city would burn because of ruptured gas lines. There were some fires, but nothing along in the scale of what could have happened. In areas of greater population, I am sure fires would be a very real danger in most places. If there are natural gas shutoff valves in your home they probably need to be turned off immediately, even if it means being without heat. Also, if it smells like there is a gas leak and you cannot shut it off, leave the house. If you are expecting someone to meet you there, wait for them outside, or at least leave a note warning them of the possible gas leak, and tell them where you are going to be. Also be careful of any downed power lines.

At that time Alaska was largely populated by people of an independent mind set. Many households had extra food on hand just in case the weather was really bad and they didn’t want to go to the grocery store. Many also had food on hand because it was the middle of the cold war, and we lived on what might have been considered the frontier. There was always talk of problems arising with Russia, and most people took it as a reasonable precaution to have extra food stored.

While the ground did crack open, no one was killed from falling into a crack. At least one family had their house slide off a bluff into the ocean. The house floated until the people were rescued.

Water was a problem for some people.
The main loss of life came from tidal waves. Tidal waves hit areas far outside of Alaska and Canada. Here is a quote from Wikapedia.com speaking of the Alaska earthquake.
‘Elsewhere: Twelve people were killed by the tsunami in Crescent City, California, while four children were killed on the Oregon coast at Beverly Beach State Park.[6] Other towns along the U.S. Pacific Northwest and Hawaii were damaged. Minor damage to boats reached as far south as Los Angeles.
As the entire planet vibrated as a result of the quake, minor effects were felt worldwide. Several fishing boats were sunk in Louisiana, and water sloshed in wells in Africa.[7]’
Something very important to take note of is that even though an earthquake may not have hit your area, you may be in danger. Tidal waves just seem to pop up everywhere, hundreds and even thousands of miles away. Also, in the New Madrid earthquakes 200 years ago, apparently the Mississippi River actually ran backwards, so I can only imagine the damage done with that. So, even if you don’t live near an ocean, you want to be careful of any large water bodies in your area if there is an earthquake.

Considering the magnitude of the Alaska earthquake, the damage in Anchorage was small, but it would have been much greater in areas of greater population. Also, buildings in Alaska have been built to withstand earthquakes, where buildings in many parts of the world are not built with any thought of an earthquake.

In the Alaska earthquake, even if people had wanted to leave the area, there was nowhere to go because there are only two roads out of Anchorage. They both fork eventually, but they also all dead end except the Alaska Highway which goes through Canada. Also, roads and bridges were all damaged. It wasn’t really safe to go anywhere immediately. That is a likely scenario in any major earthquake. A bridge may still be standing, but it may not be structurally safe. Also entire sections of a road may be under water or just dropped down many feet if the earthquake fault slip went all the way to the surface.

After the quake stopped, Mom cleaned up the broken glass. We kids tried to locate our pet goldfish on the floor and get them back in some sort of water before they died. Then we went outside to find our dog and cat. Then, Dad put us all in the car as soon as he had smoked two packs of cigarettes, and we went to the hospital because a good friend was in the hospital having just had a serious operation. (Mom refused to stay home alone because she was afraid of an aftershock.) Dad thought if the hospital was damaged he would have to try to dig his friend out. I guess a lot of other people had the same idea because the parking lot was full. There were guys all over the place carrying whatever tools they thought would be helpful. Fortunately the hospital was fine and dad’s friend was fine as well. They let dad into the hospital to check on his friend and see if he needed anything. The friend’s wife was with him, so that was a relief as well. One more friend was checked off as being alright. Then the police asked us to all go home.

What happened at our house next was a lot of friends came over because they all thought my mom was the best cook when there was no electricity. Besides we had a gas cook stove hooked to a propane bottle. Dad had checked for gas leaks and found none, so we were good to go in that area. Several friends stayed a couple of days at our house..

Then there is the problem of getting word to family members outside the area of what has happened. My parent’s families in the Southern USA went through about a week of worry before mom was able to get word to them. I don’t know why phone service took so long to be restored. My grandparents didn’t have a phone, so mom had to call someone else to get word to them.

Most of you reading this already have some sort of disaster plan that I am sure includes having food, water, medicine, tools, and many other things on hand.

No matter how remote the chance of an earthquake in your area may be, it would be a good idea to decide what to do if an earthquake hit while you were in places like home, work, car, church, and any other place you seem to find yourself on a regular basis. Move away from windows if possible. Of course you would never get into an elevator in any type of disaster. Make a note of how to get home without crossing major bridges. Think of the water in your area and consider the possibility of flooding or tidal waves. Also, consider any dams in the area and what areas would flood if the dams break.

I think the thing that stayed on the minds of most people after the earthquake was the number of people who drowned in tidal waves. They call them tsunamis now, but it is the same thing – a massive wall of water that just comes in fast and takes everything out to sea that it touches.

Now it seems that in earthquakes people are left trapped in the rubble.
In Anchorage I don’t think any houses collapsed. Our house was just an old house sitting on a concrete block foundation. The foundation cracked. No windows broke. Nothing really happened except stuff fell out of cabinets and a lot of glass was broken. The fish bowls all fell over. I don’t know what would happen now in neighborhoods where most homes are single level. It probably would depend on how well built the homes were in the first place.

I put a small whistle on my husband’s key chain to use in case he is ever trapped somewhere. Ok, I actually put it there in case he ever gets lost in the woods, or breaks his leg when he is out hunting or something like that. If you live or work in a multilevel building, a whistle for your key chain is something you might want to think about. (When my husband goes hunting he has to wear a ‘necklace’ I made for him that has a good compass, a container of waterproof matches, and a big whistle.)

Government response is never going to be adequate, especially in the first days after a disaster of any kind. You will be on your own! Hopefully you have a support group to help deal with whatever happens. Of course family is ideally the best and first support group, but good friends area a help as well. In any situation, you will probably just have to sort of ‘wing it’, or do what seems to best suit the situation immediately and the situation as it changes.

We all want to be as prepared for any disaster as possible, without letting ‘preparedness’ become an obsession. An earthquake is just another potential disaster. It brings with it some of the aftermath of most disaster, along with a few additional problems like tsunamis, craters, damage to all road systems, and so on. It is a good idea to give some consideration to how you and your family would deal with a major earthquake if one did occur. An earthquake of that magnitude was not what we were expecting in Alaska all those years ago. We were expecting Russian jets to violate our air space one time to many and be the start of an atomic war. (We had a partial bomb shelter under the house by the furnace. Every time we kids got to loud, Dad made us go under the house and dig out more dirt so we would have more space to sit around and wait to die of radiation poisoning if an atomic attack ever came. With those Communists, you just couldn’t really tell.)

I think it helps to enjoy today if you have made some preparation for an unexpected and/or unpleasant event in the future. Then you have some sort of idea of where to start, what may or may not be possible, and what it will take to cope. That is about the best you can do for an unknown. Our bomb shelter really didn’t help one bit in the earthquake. But the food mom had stored, and her ability to adapt to the situation were both helpful.

Have a good day.
