Do You Have What It Takes?

I think to myself daily, "how can I do this, I don't have what it takes".
I don't know enough about the bible to share it with the lost!
Then the doubts, the fiery darts of Satan, began to shoot me straight in the heart, "You don't have a thing in common with those people".
You have not been in jail or prison!
You have not taken illicit drugs or been a drunk!
You certainly have never sold your body for immoral purposes!
Then that small still voice that comes from the Lord said " think again, go to My word and I will show you".
Then the terror set in, God's gonna make me do this! And in the process, He's gonna show me I have a great deal in common with "those people"!!

Lord, pour out Your Spirit. Tear my heart apart as You show me just how wicked I am!
Lord, teach me not to judge but to love and to encourage.
Teach me how to use Your word to set the captives free, yes even when their bodies are locked away in prison or when they appear to be free but their souls are being held captive. Amen

2 Corinthians 12:6-10
6 Though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. 
7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations,a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 
9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 
10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


As long as Satan keeps us silent, people will perish!
As long as we shrink away from God's will, people will perish!
As long as we think we are better than others, people will perish!

What we all have in common....
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
Genesis 2:17 
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."
Romans 5:14 
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
Ephesians 2:3 
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.

No one is free from sin....
1 John 1:8
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Matthew 15:19 
For out of the heart come evil thoughts--murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

James 1:14-15 
but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

What if we helped our lost friends be accountable by teaching them God's word as it will apply to their life and ours?
What if we show them that we all fail and can get forgiveness if we repent? What if we extend our hand and heart in compassion and be a friend?
What if we teach them that the material things of this earth pass away but love will never pass away!
What if we give of our time, money and resources to help them win the battle against hopelessness?
Do we have what it takes????
Christ does!!!

John 14:14
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
John 15:16 
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last--and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

Let No One Disregard You

Titus 2:11-15
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 
13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. 
15 Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you. 


2 Corinthians 2:11
so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

2 Corinthians 4:4 
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Luke 22:31 
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.

Ephesians 4:14
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

2 Corinthians 4:2 
Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 11:3 
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.



Foolish man, you deny the power of God by offering up your opinion!!
You do not have any right to offer up an opinion!
God alone will judge man for everyone of his opinions that are in direct conflict with God's teaching! So all of you who twist the truth and replace it with a lie or for those who refuse to stand on the power of God, judgement awaits us all!!
Grace does not cover repeated and willful sin.
The time for ignorance is over!
Know the word, lest you be lead astray!
Repent, for Christ is preparing to come again!!

Revelation 12:10 
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

Luke 24:47 
and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Acts 17:23 
For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship--and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

Romans 3:25 
God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood--to be received 
by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--

Ephesians 4:18 
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

Acts 17:30
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent

Humanism and the Stumbling Block

Humanism- a group of philosophies and ethical views that emphasize the value and agency of human beings. Humanists generally elevate reasoning and experience over established doctrine or faith.

How do you, a believer in the gospel of Christ, tell non-believers about the Creator?
Pull out your bible, which you know to be the truth, you share the gospel and they walk away.
Hum, that didn't go so well, now what?
The lost do not want to be hit over the head with the Bible.
God is Creator and Judge!
They need to know that there is a righteous Creator who spoke the world into existence!
He alone is the Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth!
They need to know that we have been given a certain amount of days to live here on earth!
They need to know that at the end of those days is an appointed time where the Creator will judge His creation, the human being!
God created us to be in a relationship with Him!
We rebelled by replacing God with gods we made!
God demands that we repent!
They need to know that from the beginning, all men sinned and therefore were are separated from holy God!
They need to know that there is an eternal destination where the soul of man will reside, heaven or hell!
They need to know that Christ is the only way that God will forgive you!
The risen Lord Jesus has conquered sin and death!

The gospel is a stumbling block to those who have confidence in their flesh.
The gospel is the saving power of God to those who place their faith in Christ!!

Acts 17:16-34
16Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. 17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, "What does this babbler wish to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities"--because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20For you bring some strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean. "21Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.
22 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious.
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, 'To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.24The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,27 that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,28 for "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, "'For we are indeed his offspring. '29Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, "We will hear you again about this."33So Paul went out from their midst.34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

1 Corinthians 10:31
 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:18
 Consider the people of Israel:are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? 

Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Matthew 7:13-14
13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 
14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. 

Romans 9:33
33 as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." 

1 Corinthians 1:22-24
22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 

Romans 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 

1 Corinthians 1:18, 24
18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 

Thank you pastor Jim!!!

Trust No One


The most important thing I can think of is where you will spend eternity!
Life truly is a vapor!
God's word teaches all you will need to know!
You alone must read and study what the word says!
God will reveal it to you if you truly seek Him!
Trust no one, you must read it for yourself, your eternity depends on it!
There are many, yes even in the pulpit, who deceive!
God is a God of mercy but He will judge those who will not obey!
Christ will return, not as a merciful Lamb but as a conquering King, to destroy all those who deny Him!

Conviction of sin....
Romans 3:20
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Justification through Christ by faith....
Gal.2:16
yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Gal. 2:19-21
19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Need for a Savior....
Romans 3:9-13
9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,
10 as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; 
11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." 
13 "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips." 

Romans 3:18
"There is no fear of God before their eyes." 

Romans 3:23-25
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

The flesh....
Romans 7:14-25
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin.
15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good.
17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.
19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.
20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being,
23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

Sanctified by Christ....
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Being pure....
2 Corinthians 11:3-6
3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
4 For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
5 Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.
6 Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

Be guarded....
2 Corinthians 11:12-15
12 And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Forgive others....
Ephesians 4:30-32
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Speak the truth of the gospel....
1 Thessalonians 2:3-4
3 For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive,
4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

Grace.....
Titus 2:11-14
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Forgiveness and confession....
1 John 1:8-10
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Our propitiation....
I John 2:1-6
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

The deceivers....
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of Hosts


Isaiah 6
1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."
9 And he said, "Go, and say to this people: "'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'
10 Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."
11 Then I said, "How long, O Lord?" And he said: "Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste,
12 and the LORD removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 And though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak, whose stump remains when it is felled." The holy seed is its stump.

John 1:18
18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side,he has made him known. 

Matthew 28:3
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

Rev.4:8
8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" 

Luke 5:8
8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord."

1 Tim. 6:16
16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. 

Do we really ever consider the holiness of God?
We question God at every turn, we the clay, He the potter, without God, man would not exist!!!
We are every bit the people with unclean lips, unclean hearts, wicked motives and endless wants!!


John 12:37-43
37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 
38 so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" 
39 Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said, 
40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them." 
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him. 
42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; 
43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God. 

Rev.4:8-11
8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" 
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 
11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." 

Acts 28:24-28
24 And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 
25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: 
26 "'Go to this people, and say, You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive. 
27 For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.' 
28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen." 

Jer.10:10-18
10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation. 
11 Thus shall you say to them: "The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens." 
12 It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens. 
13 When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses. 
14 Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is no breath in them. 
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish
16 Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name. 
17 Gather up your bundle from the ground, O you who dwell under siege! 
18 For thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I will bring distress on them, that they may feel it." 

Ponder these words as you pray to a holy God, maker of all things and the one who will be your judge!!!

Lord, I have not the words to praise You! My hearts aches for the sinful and wicked things I say or think. Forgive me Lord, a person with an unclean heart and a soul who longs to know You more. Sear my heart and mind with the hot coals of Your word. Amen

The Lord Alone Is God


Deut.4:32-40
32 "For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of.
33 Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live?
34 Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides him.
36 Out of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great fire, and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
37 And because he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power,
38 driving out before you nations greater and mightier than yourselves, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day,
39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
40 Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time."

Mark 12:32 
"Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.

1 Corinthians 8:4 
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that "An idol is nothing at all in the world" and that "There is no God but one."

1 Corinthians 8:6 
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

Isaiah 43:10 
"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me

The Keeper

Ps.121:2
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth! 

Bold verse and what does it mean?
Our confidence is in the Lord alone, man fails!
