Erected with the generous assistance of RTÉ and Dublin City Council
Joker’s Chair was erected in the memory of the writer, actor, satirist and comic Dermot Morgan (1952-1998), who achieved international renown for his role as Father Ted Crill y in the much loved and successful sitcom Father Ted. The inscription which accompanies this piece reads; ....and all the rest is laughter laughter liberating laughter to be remembered.
The artist Catherine Greene was born in Galway and studied at the National College of Art and Design from 1979-85. Her sculpture has a comical spirituality that seems to prevail throughout her work. This nod to humour and the less obvious is particularly appropriate in this piece as it appears to fittingly capture Dermot Morgan’s comical spirit. Greene was approached by Dermot Morgan’s partner to create the memorial which was funded by RTÉ and supported by Dublin City Council. A condition of the commission was that it should be an allegorical piece rather than a representative image. Greene saw Dermot as being like the modern day seer who never feared to tell the truth, cleverly, sear- ingly and with verve. This led her to the idea of the Shakespearean fool, who was always the closest to to the throne and who never feared to tell the truth. She felt it would be important for the public to engage with the artwork so she created a throne and if one looks just underneath the seat, you will see an eye, which for Greene represents the knowing eye. The balls on the top of the seat for her are like the hat of the jester. All these elements create a sense of fun and comedy about the piece. Joker’s Chair fits well within Greene’s work in that during the years preceding this commission she had been making small thrones as she was caught up with the idea of absence within her work.

It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.
George Washington
Letter to Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island
August 21, 1790
President George Washington wrote a letter to Moses Seixas, the sexton of the Touro Synagogue, America's oldest temple in Newport, Rhode Island, in response to a letter from Seixas that expressed hope that the new government would "give bigotry...no sanction, persecution...no assistance..." and would grant to all "Liberty of conscience, and immunities of Citizenship: deeming every one, of whatever Nation, tongue, or language equal parts of the great governmental Machine."
Washington and his fellow Founding Fathers would be dismayed to see where we are in 2019. Tolerance is a rare commodity. Racism is rampant. Many are not deemed "equal." And, most shocking to our first president, our 45th president, Donald Trump, promotes divisions amongst races and religions within our nation for his own gain. Even worse, many Congresspeople put their party ahead of the American people, enabling Trump to continue his rhetoric without consequence.
In 2008, Naomi Wolf wrote in the Huffington Post, "Over the past four decades, patriotism was often defined as uncritical support for U.S. policies–such as the Vietnam War-era bumper sticker MY COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG. Patriotism was also branded as support for U.S. militarism, whatever the context or conflict or cost. Sometimes patriotism was identified with “Christian America” and sometimes even as direct evangelism in the context of statecraft. Finally patriotism was rebranded as the active silencing of dissent."
"America, love it or leave it" was first popularized by newspaper columnist, Walter Winchell as a defense of McCarthyism in the 1940s and 1950s. It was used again in the 1960s and 1970s to counter protesters of the Vietnam War. It appeared again in the lead-up to the Iraq War in 2003 when many questioned President George W. Bush's decision to attack. When France also questioned the rationale for the war, members of Congress branded french fries as "freedom fries." There was no room for opposition. And, now it is being used again as a call against the political positions of four Congresswomen of color, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
President Trump tweeted, "So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world...now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run." Even though all are American legislators and citizens (and have every right to state their opinions and policy positions), he went on to say, if they don't like America, they should go back to where they came from (even though three out of the four were born in this country).
"Patriotism" used to quell opposition to policies of the American government is a false patriotism. In fact, dissent is one of the foundations of the Constitution. Rather than accept America as it is –or leave, I refuse to cede my love of this country to those who promote narrow-minded visions. Instead of "America, love it or leave it," I believe in "America, love it and change it for the better."
Words are being used as weapons. They are used as political shorthand and angry epitaphs, without context, in an effort to mislead voters. These six posters promote a more inclusive notion of love of country. As seen by the text in each, patriotism means many things to people, none of which is blind allegiance to any politician or group of people. We are a nation of immigrants. And, patriotism should always be invoked with broad strokes.
The people in the background of each poster are (from left to right): Jeanine Pirro, Fox News commentator, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's political advisor, Sean Hannity, Fox News personality and Trump confidant, and the president himself.

Sorry about the quality of this one, it was scanned off a slide taken of a photograph... the negative for which I haven't yet come across.
It portrays one of those everyday daft happenings which we used to take in our stride at Stonier's.
The Bristol LD Lodekka, UOD 477 had arrived unannounced in the yard one day, apparently from the recently defunct Crewe school of Motoring. When the winded battery powered fork lift failed to surmount the slippery incline to the pit area, the Bristol was fired up and gave a powerful rear end shove. Coming down was always more exciting as said fork lift possessed no brakes, retardation was achieved by stabbing away at the accelerator pedal with the control set for the opposite direction which resulted in blue flashes, pops, fizzes and bangs depending on the load being carried.
Just looking at this shot now, I'm wondering whether this was the Lodekka which once served with fellow local independent Graham's Coaches.
The mechanic watching proceedings all those years ago, still works for me today.

What Does Christianity Affirm?
Editorial Introduction
In view of the overwhelming flood of false doctrine, erroneous belief systems, and godless humanistic philosophies rampant everywhere in the world today, it is hoped that this compilation of the central articles of the true evangelical Christian faith will be of assistance to all who are being lead of God to seek out and find the Truth.
The Lord Jesus Christ urges all to "...seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." For everyone that "...seeks shall find; and to him that knocks it shall be opened."
May this "Evangelical Christian Confession of Faith" enable all who are seeking the truth to turn away from the bewildering and confusing array of false religions and come to a secure knowledge the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The gospel message declares in each and every article of faith that without a doubt, "in Jesus Christ, God was reconciling the world unto Himself."
1. The Gospel
We believe that the Gospel is the good news that the Lord Jesus Christ has died for the sins of the world!
Because of His infinite love for the fallen sons and daughters of Adam, God Himself in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ has come into this sin-darkened world, lived a sinless, spotless life by perfectly obeying and fulfilling the Law of God, and then He died for our sins, in our place, as our atoning sacrifice upon the cross of Calvary.
As the Second Adam, our Lord took upon Himself the guilt, punishment, penalty, and death which we all deserve.
The curses pronounced at the Fall of the First Adam, fell in full measure upon the Second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the sin bearer, substitute, and redeemer for the entire human family.
Active obedience — The Law of God requires of all perfect obedience to all of its holy commandments, and absolute holiness and sinlessness of life. This perfect righteousness Jesus performed for us as the sinless Second Adam.
Passive obedience — The Law of God also requires punishment and death to all who sin and come short of its righteous demands.
This penalty Jesus bore for us when He suffered and died for us, in our place, at Calvary . The guilt of all the world was reckoned and imputed to Him while He hung upon the cross.
In His sinless life and atoning death He became the divine Substitute, Representative, and Second Adam for every fallen child of Adam.
He was reckoned and treated as a sinner in the eyes of Divine justice so that by God's unmerited grace alone, in Christ alone, atonement and redemption and reconciliation have been accomplished for all.
He ransomed all by paying the debt of all. Jesus lived, died, arose again from the dead, and ascended into Heaven where He ever lives to make intercession for us as the one and only mediator between God and Man.
On the Last Day He will come again to save all who eagerly await His return.
2. Justification by God's unmerited "Grace Alone" through "Faith Alone" in the Sinless Life and Atoning Death of the Lord Jesus "Christ alone"
We believe that the Good News of our salvation and reconciliation through Christ's shed blood on Calvary is proclaimed to all the world and is attended by the outpouring power of the Holy Spirit.
It is God's will that all should come unto a saving knowledge of Christ.
Thus the Holy Spirit, through the proclamation of the everlasting Gospel, calls and enables whosoever will to personally believe the Gospel of Christ's finished work of atonement on the cross of Calvary, to repent of dead works, and to be baptized for the remission of sins.
All who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in repentance for their sins are justified freely by God's unmerited grace alone through faith alone in the perfect sinless life and atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
They are personally justified, forgiven, declared righteous and innocent, accepted, washed, pardoned, perfected, saved, elected, set free from condemnation, reconciled, accounted righteous, chosen, adopted, cleansed, purged, healed, sanctified, delivered from death and made alive, atoned for, found, brought back, bought back, made nigh, and predestined unto life eternal in Christ.
By the unmerited grace of God they are accounted perfect and sinless in His merciful reckoning; and their sinfulness and guilt are covered by His sinlessness.
The Law of God finds nothing to condemn in the repentant sinner who believes in Jesus.
His name is recorded in the Book of Life and he is reckoned as righteousness in Christ and accounted worthy of eternal life. This is what the apostle Paul calls justification by faith in the imputed righteousness of Christ.
Thus, we as repentant sinners are personally saved from our sins when we believe the gospel.
No repentant believer in the Lord Jesus Christ can be ever be lost as we continue to trust only in the sinless life and atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ unto the end of our lives or until Jesus comes in the clouds of heaven on the Last Day.
There will never be a point in our lives where we will not need to be justified by God's unmerited grace alone through faith alone in the imputed righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All saving merit is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Faith is merely the instrumental cause of our justification and never the meritorious cause.
In other words, there is no merit in faith, but rather all righteousness and merit is in the object of our faith, the sinless Lamb of God, the one Mediator between God and Man, Jesus Christ.
It is not God's will that any should perish, but those who resist the call of the Holy Spirit, refuse to repent of their sins, and will not believe the Gospel of their salvation in Christ are blaspheming against the Holy Spirit and are calling God a liar.
Unbelievers will have to bear the full penalty for their own sins and stand alone without a sinless Mediator on the final Judgment Day.
3. The Sanctified Life of the Believer
We believe that every justified believer in Christ receives the gracious gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit and is born again from above.
The Holy Spirit urges, teaches, empowers, and enables all believers in Jesus to begin to live loving, sanctified lives and enter into the life-long battle against sin.
This daily growth in character is called sanctification or the rebirth.
Christ lives in the believing community, the church, through the anointing power of the Holy Spirit.
In Christ, we will begin to bear the fruit of God's Spirit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. We are called to unite with Christ to use the spiritual weapons He has made available for Christians to enter the battles of life as we struggle against sin and hardness of heart.
Daily the spiritual qualities of God's Law, the Ten Commandments, are impressed and written upon the heart and then expressed and reflected in the life as we earn a living, raise our children, are faithful in marriage, help our neighbor, reach out to our enemies, wrestle with inbred tendencies to evil, and actively labor in the name of Christ to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the fallen world in which we live.
Thus, the good works of believers are the "fruit" of our justification and never the "root" of our justification.
In Sanctification: we resist the Devil; strive against sin — take up our cross and follow Jesus — hunger and thirst after righteousness — overcome the love of the world, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life — love God with all our hearts, minds, and souls — love our neighbors as ourselves by doing unto others as we would have others do unto us — endure hardships and persecution — bless those who persecute us and not curse them — labor to proclaim the gospel to all the world — pray without ceasing — use every talent we have for the glory of God as we present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, not conforming to the world but rather being transformed by the renewing of our minds — rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep — do not set our minds on high things but associate with the humble — pay no one evil for evil, not avenging ourselves — show mercy to all with cheerfulness — teach all — minister to all — give to all — show love to all — do not lag in diligence — do not think more highly of ourselves than we ought but think soberly — are kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love — rejoice in hope — are patient in tribulation — distribute to the needs of the saints — pursue hospitality — despise all forms of adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambition, dissentions, heresies, envy, murder, drunkenness, and ungodly associations. In all things we are to be zealous of good works, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and not make any provision for the flesh.
However, even as we mature in Christ — obey the Commandments of God — partake of the divine nature — grow in faith and a knowledge of His word — and deepen in our repentance — there is no point in the Christian life where we will not need forgiveness and justification by God's unmerited grace alone through faith alone in Christ's imputed righteousness.
Our prayer, this side of eternity, to our Heavenly Father will always be — "Father, please forgive us of our sins, for Jesus' sake" and — "Lord, I am an unprofitable servant. Be merciful to me a sinner, for Jesus' sake."
Thus the Christian church is always a forgiven community and therefore is to always be a forgiving community.
This is true now and even unto the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven.
4. Immortality and Eternal Life
We believe that "he who is justified by faith shall live ". All who are justified by God's unmerited grace alone through faith alone in the sinless life and atoning death of our Lord Jesus Christ alone have the forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life and immortality.
Just as the believer is reckoned perfectly righteous by faith alone, even so we have the gift of immortality by faith alone.
The life and righteousness that we possess now are merely the small down payment of the righteousness and immortal life that we will have "by sight" at His coming.
After the Fall of Adam, a flaming sword hedged the way to the Tree of Life so that Man could no longer eat of its fruit and "live forever".
Thus sickness, suffering, and death entered the creation through Adam's sin.
But that flaming sword of judgment has pierced our dear Savior's side, so that by the unmerited grace of God the redeemed sons and daughters of Adam will once again eat from the Tree of Life.
At the coming of Jesus we shall shout, "O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory?" Death has been swallowed up in victory through the blood of Calvary !!!
And so death to the believer is a mere moment of sleep from which we shall arise to be like Him.
In a moment — in the twinkling of an eye — we shall put on perfect righteousness and immortality at the Last Trump. Just as in water baptism Christians are "buried" in the likeness of our Lord's death and "arise" in the likeness of His resurrection, even so we who fall asleep in death shall arise on the Last Day to everlasting life through the promise of the resurrection.
5. The Last Days, the Judgment Hour, and the Restoration of the Gospel
We believe that the "Last Days" and the "Hour of God's Judgment" began at the cross of Calvary.
Satan has been cast down to the Earth and knows that his time is short. Since the days of the apostles, the Enemy of truth has sought to destroy the true gospel of Christ by bringing false doctrine into the Christian church and severely persecuting Christ's people.
However, God in His mercy and providence has raised up the "always reforming" Protestant reformation to recover all the precious truth of the Gospel that the Antichrist has sought to destroy.
Now in these last days of Earth's history, the fully restored Gospel in all of its apostolic purity is once again being proclaimed to every nation, language, and people in the "latter rain" power of the Holy Spirit.
All the world is being invited to repent of their transgressions of God's holy Law and receive the "seal of God" in the free gift of the forgiveness of sin and justification unto eternal life by the unmerited grace of God alone through faith alone in the sinless life and atoning death of our Lord Jesus Christ alone.
The Christian era — metaphorically called the "1260 days" — "42 months" — or the "3 and ½ years" — is a time of judgment, tribulation, and terrible plagues upon the Earth.
In this time of judgment, those who refuse to repent of their sins and will not trust in the blood of Jesus will receive the final verdict of condemnation and will receive the "mark of the Beast" and the "seven last plagues" of God's wrath against sin.
God's people who "keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus" will pass through this terrible time shielded by the power and mercy of God and be delivered when Jesus returns. When Jesus comes in all of His glory those with the "mark of the Beast" will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming.
6. The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the literal, visible Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power and great glory.
All the world will see Him come in the clouds of heaven with all the holy angels.
The Lord will raise His redeemed people who have fallen asleep in death and, together with the living saints, they will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
The redeemed saints on that day will be accounted worthy of eternal life only by the unmerited grace of God. God's blood-bought people know that only the "imputed" righteousness of Christ can enable them to stand before the unveiled glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
They know that even after an entire lifetime of wrestling with evil tendencies from within — wrestling with temptations from without — and at the same time seeking to be a blessing to others — their sanctification always falls short of God's holy and righteous Law.
The sanctified life of the Christian always bears the taint of imperfection even unto the coming of the Lord in the clouds of glory.
On that Day those who have rejected our Lord's offer of mercy through faith in the blood of Christ and who have fully aligned themselves with the Lawless One in the final rebellion against the Truth will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming.
7. The Millennium, the End of Sin and the Eternal Punishment of the Lost
After our Lord comes to take His people to Heaven, Satan and his evil angels will be bound to the desolate Earth for 1000 years.
The redeemed will spend this 1000 years reigning in Heaven with Christ.
At the end of this 1,000 years, Jesus and His people in the "New Jerusalem" will return to the Earth.
The wicked lost will be raised from the dead and then Satan and his angels and the wicked lost will make one final attempt to destroy the New Jerusalem.
But as they come up to the City, eternal fire from heaven will rain down upon them and they will be punished according to the measure of the wickedness of their lives.
After Satan, his evil angels, and the wicked lost are completely burned up and consigned to eternal death, God will make a new heaven and a new Earth where sin and sinners will be no more.
God's people will live eternally in the beautiful Earth made new where there is no more curse or sorrow or death.
8. The One True God
We believe in Almighty God — the Creator and Redeemer of Heaven and Earth.
The only true, merciful, and loving Eternal God — who is the all-knowing, all-powerful, immortal, self existing One — without beginning or end — who alone possesses life unborrowed and underived, is the source of all life and righteousness, — and through whom all the creation is sustained, upheld, and exists moment by moment by the power of His Word.
9. The Triune God
We believe that the one true God has revealed Himself to us in His word as the Triune God from all eternity — God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
10. Jesus Christ -
The LORD of the Old Testament
We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is the same LORD who called the universe into existence; walked in the Garden with Adam — saved Noah and his family from the flood — called Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — wrestled with Jacob and thereafter called him Israel — lead the children of Israel out of Egypt through the Red Sea and into Canaan land — established the sacrifices of the Levitical priesthood to pre-figure His death as the Messiah — raised up the many Judges and major and minor Prophets to deliver the sinful and disobedient people of God — delivered Daniel from the lions and gave him the vision of the "seventy weeks of years" from the command to rebuild Jerusalem unto the Messiah's being "cut off" — and finally sent His angel Gabriel to Mary to announce His arrival as the Messiah.
The LORD of the Old Testament is the same Lord and Savior of the New Testament — The Lord Jesus Christ!
11. The Incarnation of Christ
We believe that in His incarnation, our Lord Jesus Christ was truly and uniquely both fully God and fully Man .
Our Lord Jesus Christ lived an absolutely sinless life as the Son of Man, the second Adam, but also retained all of His eternal divine nature as the Son of God, the second person of the Godhead.
The sinless human nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, although affected by sin, was not in any way infected with sin. His human nature was conceived by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary.
12. The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead.
He convicts of sin and righteousness and judgment, attends the proclamation of the Gospel, and invites and leads sinners to faith and repentance and justification by God's unmerited grace alone through faith alone in the sinless life and atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ.—prevenient grace.
The Holy Spirit teaches us the perfect will of God through the word of God, the Bible (sola scriptura).
He urges and empowers believers to live sanctified lives of good works of unselfish love for God and neighbor.
He continues to reveal to us our secret sins, reprove us of our known sins, and lead us to a deepening repentance towards God and trust in the merits of Christ. Christ dwells in the heart of the born-again believer by the word of God through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.—indwelling grace.
13. The Bible
We believe that the Holy Spirit inspired the sacred scriptures in their present Old and New Testament canon.
The Bible is the infallible word of God which leads the reader to find eternal life by the unmerited grace of God alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ our Lord alone.
All Christian faith, practice, and doctrine must be derived solely from the scriptures.
14. The Creation of the World
We believe that in six literal days, approximately 6,000 years ago, God created a perfect, sinless universe without death or decay, sin or rebellion.
All creation was a perfect expression of the will of God. Having free access to the Tree of Life, Adam and Eve were to live eternally in their beautiful home.
15. The Fall of Man
We believe that sin and suffering and death entered God's perfect creation as a result of Adam and Eve's first act of rebellion against God.
Because of the original sin of Adam, all the natural-born children of Adam are born legally and morally separated and alienated from God; having no hope, and without God in the world.
Legal corruption: in Adam all die.
As the legal Head of the human family, when Adam sinned he sold all of his children into the slavery of sin. All are born as sinners in the eyes of God's holy Law and thus the wages of sin is death for all. Bondservants give birth to children who are bondservants, and so it is that all the children of Adam are born under the condemnation of God's holy, just, and good Law.
Sin and guilt and death have come upon all the natural-born sons and daughters of Adam.
Moral corruption: because Adam came under the condemnation of God's Law, he cut off himself and all his descendants from the original indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
All are born without the indwelling Holy Spirit, and thus Man in his very heart and mind and spirit and soul has a fallen human nature which is morally polluted with inherited and cultivated tendencies and propensities to sin.
All are now born with a fallen, sinful moral nature and all have lost their freewill to live righteously and are under the bondage of a sinful human nature.
The natural Man is by nature selfish, unholy, unkind, unloving, pompous, self-righteous, and he by nature despises God's holy Law of unselfish love for God and neighbor — the Ten Commandments.
16. The Christian Church
A.) We believe that the Christian church is composed of all who are believers in Christ as Savior and Lord.
Any sinner who repents and believes in Christ has his name written in Heaven in the Lamb's Book of Life. — the invisible church.
B.) We believe that all new believers ought to be baptized by immersion and join a local fellowship group.
There they can grow and mature in the faith, enjoy the blessings of Christian fellowship with like-minded believers, and share in the communion table of the Lord's Supper.
Members of the body of Christ should work unitedly to support the proclamation of the gospel through the various evangelical outreach programs, educational institutions, medical ministries, and publishing efforts of an organized evangelical Christian church.— the visible church.
17. The Sabbath School and Worship Service
We believe that the Sabbath fellowship meetings of the local church ought to inspire the congregation through beautiful sacred Christian music, scripture reading, teaching of true doctrine, partaking of the Lord's Supper, solemn prayer, giving of thanks, praise, pastoral exhortations, and the baptism of new believers.
Children ought to be included and not separated from the general service.
A little childish background noise should be tolerated.
18. The Gospel Ministry
We believe that the church ought to elect pastors, teachers, evangelists, administrators, elders, deacons, and deaconesses to serve in the Gospel ministry.
They ought to be mature Christian believers who fully embrace all the doctrines of the true evangelical Gospel without reservation.
They ought to be carefully chosen individuals who are ready to serve in those roles which are in harmony with the biblical counsel and who are always ready to teach the truth and speak in defense of the Gospel and the word of God .
The distinctive roles of men and women in Christian service as outlined in the word of God should be recognized.
19. The Great Gospel Commission
We believe that the great commission of the church is to proclaim the Good News of salvation to every nation, people, and language and to invite all to repent of their sins and be forgiven and justified by the unmerited grace of God alone through faith alone in the sinless life and atoning death of our Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross of Calvary.
It is the duty of all believers to actively proclaim the Gospel regardless of their field of human endeavor and vocation.
20. Water Baptism of the New Believer
We believe that all who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord ought to be baptized by immersion in the name of the Father and in the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit.
Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Christ's atonement, and a symbol of the believer's commitment to die to sin and be raised up to the newness of life in Christ — that is, it symbolizes both justification and sanctification.
21. The Lord's Supper
We believe that Christians ought to partake of the Lord's Supper as a symbol and remembrance of our Lord's giving of Himself as a ransom for our sins.
The elements of the bread and new wine proclaim the truth of the Gospel until Christ shall come again.
22. The Sabbath Day
We believe that the Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week, is a day for Christian believers to set aside the secular affairs of life and come together to worship, pray, and fellowship in Christ our Creator and Redeemer.
As we rest from our labors on the Sabbath day, we celebrate and rejoice in the "rest" that we have by the unmerited grace of God alone through faith alone in Christ's finished work of redemption and atonement for our sins upon the cross of Calvary.
The Sabbath ought never become a burdensome legalistic requirement for the people of God but rather a day of comfort and joyful rest that is in harmony with the spirit and not just the letter of the Commandment.
We believe that God created the world in six literal days and then rested on the seventh day of the week, the Sabbath day.
It is the duty of the church in these last days of Earth's history to urge all to believe in the literal creation account as found in Genesis and to remember the Lord's Day — the Sabbath — as set forth in the fourth commandment of the Decalogue.
23. The Priesthood of All Believers
We believe that all may go directly to God in prayer for the forgiveness of their sins and justification unto eternal life through the one Mediator between God and Man — the Lord Jesus Christ — who is our merciful and sinless High Priest in the Heavenly sanctuary.
24. The Blessing of Prayer
We believe that Christians should "pray without ceasing" and in all things give thanks.
It is the privilege of every believer to offer heart-felt prayers in the worthy name of our Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, intercession for the salvation of our friends and loved ones, petition for our present earthly needs, thanksgiving for God's bountiful blessings, and praise to our Lord for His infinite gift of eternal life.
25. The Blessing of Giving
We believe that the various ministries of the church ought to be supported by the freewill offerings of its members.
The Lord loves a cheerful giver and He invites all to give liberally and sacrificially of their worldly means so that the gospel might be proclaimed to all the world.
The financial needs of the church should be made known to the congregation so that all may give as they are able.
However, offerings to support the programs of the church should never be a condition of membership or a test of fellowship; nor should offerings be collected during the church or Sabbath School services.
26. The Origin of Evil
We believe that evil originated before the creation of the universe with the fall of the angel Lucifer who became Satan — a literal, living, fallen angel who, along with one third of the angels of God, rebelled against the rule and authority of God.
27. Godly Living in a Perverse World
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
We believe that because of the perverseness and ungodliness of the times, we ought to urge the following recommendations to the body of believers —
◦Believers ought to dress and behave modestly in public.
◦Believers should be careful to maintain sobriety at all times and should never become intoxicated through the use of wine or strong drink. Total abstinence, although not specifically mandated by the word of God, should be encouraged as the wisest course for all believers to pursue.
◦Believers ought to avoid those forms of worldly music, entertainment, dancing, theater, films, and fictional reading whose moral and doctrinal content are ungodly or untrue.
◦Believers ought to make every effort to send their children to Christian schools of the highest possible scholastic, moral, and doctrinal standards.
◦Believers ought to choose to adopt a healthy, wholesome lifestyle. Knowing that our bodies are the temple of the Lord, we ought to follow the laws of health to the best of our abilities and shun the use of tobacco and other harmful drugs and stimulants.
◦Believers ought to make every effort to have morning and evening devotions in the home.

The United States Department of Agriculture donated commodities such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), are just some of the many sources that make up the more than 44 million pounds of food that flow in and out of the warehouse of the San Antonio Food Bank (SAFB) they package and palletize them for fast distribution from its San Antonio, TX., headquarters, on Monday, October 31, 2011. SAFB is a non-profit organization that serves as a clearinghouse by receiving and storing truckloads of donated food, produce, and other grocery products, they then distributes these items to over 500 service agencies that help people in need.
“We couldn’t do what we do without our partnership with USDA’” said President and CEO Eric Cooper. He continues, “We are privileged in partnering (with the USDA) to feeding kids, through the summer, with the Summer Food Service Program, and throughout the year, with the Child and Adult Care Feeding Program (CACFP). Then in our approach to feeding seniors, we partner with USDA in the Commodities Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), and the Senior Farmer’s Market (Nutrition) Program. And then work to bring all our (needy) parties together with our Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Outreach. You know, once families have access to food we believe it is important to educate them. Through the support of the SNAP-Education Program we are able to educate them during their time of need. With this comprehensive approach we are really able to get the right food, at the right amount, at the right time, to needy families throughout our community – which allows us to feed the fifty-eight thousand we do, each week.”
SAFB serves 16 counties in Southwest Texas and states, “Nearly one out of every four children and one out of every five adults in Southwest Texas lives in poverty and has difficulty meeting basic nutritional needs.” According to SAFB, sixty-five percent of the people requesting emergency food have children. “Additionally, the senior citizens and those living on a fixed income generally have limited funds for a consistent grocery budget.”
San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the nation with surrounding farms and ranches near its rivers and water supplies. When available they provide fresh surplus produce. Other commodities come from the food industry and manufacturers. The major food brand companies that for various reasons have surplus commodities donate it to SAFB.
Texas farmers supply fresh produce to their Fresh Produce Program.
Public donations come in the form of money, food, volunteer time, and advocacy.
Their fleet of trucks pickup and deliver food as needed.
