WE CAN RECEIVE WHAT’S ALREADY DONE 

from CDM

Common sense tells us that we simply waste our time trying to do something ourselves that was done long ago, and done perfectly. This translates directly to the finished works of Jesus Christ.

If we don’t understand what Jesus did for us on the cross, we can spend our entire lives trying to get something that was made available to us two thousand years ago. We spare ourselves needless self-effort if we understand how the covenant of grace, which His death put into force, impacts our lives.  

The three words Jesus uttered, “It is finished,” still carry great power to this day. Whether we need healing, deliverance from trouble, forgiveness, prosperity, peace of mind, or anything else that accompanies a successful life, we don’t have to struggle on our own to experience it. It’s already done; all that’s left for us to do now is to believe we’ve already received it.

This is critically important for believers to understand. When we got born again, we moved from the natural realm, in which there are many limitations to what we can claim, to the supernatural, where there are no limitations. We moved from being children in bondage to our own works to children living in the freedom of Jesus’ works.

We don’t have to beg God to do something He’s already done; as His children, we can instead thank and praise Him. The emphasis has shifted from performing to believing; this is evidenced by the requirements for laying hold of eternal life. Before Jesus’ death, His answer to the rich young ruler was to keep the commandments; after His resurrection, Paul and Silas revealed that all that was necessary was to believe in Jesus.

We’re saved through our faith in God’s grace. Despite all our sins, we’re made right with Him through faith in Christ. This is true for everyone who believes it. God’s favor has given us everything we need for an awesome life; our trust in Him connects us to it all. 

Prayer:

God, we could never do all that’s required of us through our own efforts; therefore, Jesus did it all, and did it perfectly, on our behalf. Our faith in this positions us to receive all the blessings You want us to enjoy. Thank You for what You did. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Start Again Today

• Author Delishia Davis

My dear brothers and sisters, there is a power that each believer can receive and attain from Almighty God. According to the Bible, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. It is a daily process – we all sin, we all make mistakes and we all fail to do some things that are required of us yet we serve a God that looks beyond our faults and sees our needs. Our greatest need in this Christian journey is the forgiveness of Almighty God, that we may walk in wholeness in our relationship with God.

I spoke with a new convert a few days ago that felt she was a terrible person. She went on to explain to me all of the things she used to do, and why she could not be made whole. She felt there was a level to the forgiveness of God, and that she definitely could not attain it. However, as we continued in the conversation, I shared this scripture with her. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it." There is absolutely nothing you can do that God does not have power to deliver you from and that God will not forgive you. She received this word, and now is experiencing a joy that she has not experienced before. Today you too can experience a new height of joy and peace in your relationship with Almighty God.

Forgiveness is a gift from God that will allow us a new beginning. You may have done extreme negative things in your life, but we serve a God that specializes in transforming the negatives to the positives. You may have given up at some point, but we serve a God that will exercise power to renew your faith and restore your joy. You may have guilt from the past and pain in your present, but we serve a God that washes and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

Today is your day. On this day, God wants to remove the stain of your sins and to give you a clean state. After all, you are his child and his ambassador. Let the blessings of the Lord abide in you today and be renewed that you may reach a higher plateau in your faith.

Let us pray. Almighty God, thank you for your divine power. I admit that I have sinned, and I seek your forgiveness now for all that I have done, thought and felt. Please purge me from my sins and unrighteousness, and afford me a new opportunity to walk with authority in your will. I bless your name for your mighty acts and your loving kindness, in the name of Jesus. Amen

In Tom Brown’s 11 seasons as head coach at Sam Houston State, the women’s soccer program has made impressive strides, becoming a force in the Southland Conference.

Behind a tenacious defense and strong finish to the season, Sam Houston captured its first 10-win season (10-6-5) in 2015 while making its first Southland Conference Tournament championship match in 10 seasons, before falling in penalty kicks. The Bearkats posted three clean sheets at the tournament, while finishing second in the Southland in goals allowed per match (0.83) and shutouts (9). On Oct. 30, Brown led Sam Houston to a 1-0 victory against Stephen F. Austin, ending the Ladyjacks' 32-match league unbeaten streak.

In 2014, the Bearkats posted their best season in league play since the program began in 2003. The Kats won a program-high eight games (8-2-1) in Southland play and finished in second place – also the program’s high mark. The team also set records for goals in Southland play (23) while sophomore Allie Johnson set the program mark with goals in five consecutive games.

Brown became the second head coach in program history on June 18, 2008. That fall, the Kats produced the team’s first winning season, finishing 9-7. Sam Houston set school records for longest winning streak (7), consecutive shutouts (7) and fewest goals allowed (17).

Under the direction of Brown, the squad has qualified for the league tournament eight of the last 10 seasons, advancing to the semifinals five times. Book this course today!

Play # 2 Box set weakside dive to distort the zone and makes X4 have to make a decision on weak-side.

Play # 3 Box Set with a flare screen to get your shooter a 3. This needs to have at least 7 seconds left in the game to run.

Play #4 Common Formation to attack zones is a line formation this is designed to get you a post touch and layup. You have that post player you want to get the ball here is a great way to get the ball inside vs. 2-3 zone

Baseball Safety Guidelines That Need To Often Be Followed

• Author Alexandr Grigorev

If all players stay conscious of what’s going on close to them, baseball safety could be drastically increased. Safe practices on the field should be stressed during each practices and games.

The coach and manager shouldn’t only encourage players to play their greatest, but also to perform anything they are able to to make sure safety. The baseball safety guidelines that adhere to are some easy approaches to decrease the probabilities of mishaps. (Continued below....)

(...Continued......)One aspect of safety in baseball involves players communicating with each other at all times. A fly ball, for example, can present a danger when outfielders aren’t clear about who’s going to get it. It’s standard practice for fielder to call out, "I’ve got it!" or something similar, and this is essential to avoid collisions. Of course, confusion can still occur if two players both call for it at the same time, but at least then they’ll be aware of each other’s presence and can hopefully sort it out.

There should be a preset plan where players know exactly which areas are covered by which fielders to avoid problems. While everyone wants to catch the ball, they also have to be taught to always be aware of the location of their teammates. Regardless of your age or league type you are a helmet is the best way to avoid the danger of being hit by a fast moving ball and being injured. no matter who is stepping up to the plate the risk of being hit is the same which makes wearing a helmet for protection essential in both practices as well as games. A faceguard on your helmet offers the most protection and is good for especially kids to wear. The most important part of the body to protect, however, is the head, as injuries to this area can cause severe injuries and even be fatal.

The sun can be a dangerous component when it comes to baseball. This is because it can produce blistering heat, create sunburns and blind players when they are running to catch the ball. Players should always wear sunscreen to get away from sunburn. Caps and visors are of the utmost importance. These can help players cope with the sun in their eyes. The sun is something that all ball players should be familiar with. It will not be in the same position during the whole game. When the sun is in their eyes, all players should be very careful when running for the ball or running bases. This is one of those unpredictable things about baseball that players must learn how to deal with. Baseball will always have a lasting appeal. By following the type of safety guidelines we’ve covered in this article, players can enjoy the game with less chance of accidents or injuries. You cannot always predict when things will go off track. If players are properly attired and following sensible precautions, the game can be made much safer.

 What You Need to Know About the 2 Side Break

• By Lason Perkins
 

---

While there has been lots of discussion about half-court actions and offenses like 5 Out and Dribble Drive, you also hear a lot of coaches talking about playing with pace. 

We know that analytics show the advantages of scoring in transition but it leaves some unanswered questions coaches face such as

What does pace mean exactly?  

How do you teach it?  

The pace concept has been linked to a transition offense system known as the 2 Side Break.  

Yes, the 2 Side system was used by the Houston Rockets but it can be adopted to all levels of play. You can get layups and 3’s in this system, based on your talent level. (Continued below.....)

 (...Continued.....)Coaches such as Zak Boisvert have mentioned it in clinic presentations but nothing has been produced that goes into greater detail.

Thankfully, Brent Tipton has put together a clinic breakdown of this offensive system and is now available here.

2 Side Transition: How To Trigger Offensive Advantage goes into detail discussing

How 2 Side Transition impacts pace

How to go Early and Opposite

How to go Early and Up

When to Dribble Push

How Stretched Spacing Rules create multiple closeouts

Incorporating 45 cuts and DHOs in transition

Here is Coach Tipton showing examples of early and opposite ball movement and how it disrupts transition defense.

One of the biggest advantages of this system is that it allows you to truly play positionless basketball. If you are a 5 Out coach, 2 Side Break is a perfect fit to get you right into your actions.

HIIT for dummies: an introduction

High intensity interval training is simply put, the best way to achieve more with your training while actually exercising less.

To hell with the grueling, two hour long training sessions. To hell with the gargantuan weights. To hell with the treadmill rat race. More is less with HIIT and here is what you need to know to jump on the training effectiveness bandwagon. (Continued below.....)

Personal Trainer Tamara Anthony has the perfect full-body dumbbell workout for you. Get ready to sweat together with this workout that can done at home or in the gym.

(....Continued.....)HIIT is not a fad, it's not complicated and it's certainly not too elite for you. Actually HIIT is a generic training method that can be applied to a wide range of physical activities : running, biking, swimming or even rowing. The principle is similar to firing a weapon: in order to accurately hit your target, would you rather keep the trigger squeezed until you empty the clip hoping that a bullet will hit the target or fire short, controlled bursts to make sure you hit the bullseye?

If you aspire to become a marksman one day, chances are that your shooting instructor told you not to go berserk on the trigger. Well, HIIT is basically the same : in order to produce the best results in terms of fat loss, cardiovascular strengthening and body toning, you need to keep your sessions short but intense. Combining explosive effort with periods of rest at regular intervals will keep your body on its toes and prevent you from ever plateauing.

As I said, HIIT principles can be used for any type of sport, so without further ado, I'd like to show you a sample workout that you can test and try at home before you duke it out with a personal coach.

A sample HIIT workout for beginners

Since beaches, ponds and pools are never far away in Bangkok, here is a HIIT swimming workout routine.

Warm up (We'll never say it enough, a proper warm-up is crucial, whatever sport you engage in. This is even truer when you add HIIT in the mix) : get the blood flowing, stretch and prime your muscles. If you swim in an olympic-sized pool, swim a couple of laps. Duration : 6-8 min.

When you're ready, start as follows :

45 seconds, high velocity sprint (freestyle) followed by 1'30'' of light swim or paddling

Repeat for 15 minutes.

When you're done with your training, get out of the pool and hit the treadmill for another 15 minutes, keep your intensity low but steady. As a duly deserved reward you can treat yourself with a creamy protein shake and some good carbs like a banana and a handful of oats (simple and complex carbs to cover the full spectrum).

''But it's too short!'' Remember that this very simple routine is made for beginners and I can tell you that if you did it correctly 'too short' is not the first thing that'll spring to your mind but rather something like 'I'm dead!' or 'this is insane!'. The goal here is not to train longer, but to train smarter and better.

After such a workout, your hgh (human growth hormones) will go through the roof and will trigger a cascade of beneficial chemicals reactions in your body. Use this method and fine tune the intensity to your liking (by reducing the rest time for instance) and witness your whole body undergo a plastic transformation that even the best Hollywood doctor won't be able to match!
