Hector "Teco" Serrano (13-2, 5 KO's) started fast in his professional career, becoming a local favorite as he piled up victory after victory from 2006 to 2010. After a big technical knockout win over Angel Hernandez in June of 2010, the 26-year-old hit a rough patch with back-to-back defeats against Jose Reynoso and Aris Ambriz, but with his active schedule keeping him sharp, Serrano expects to put the past in the rearview mirror and emerge victorious on August 25. 25-year old Juan Garcia (14-3, 5 KO's) tore out of the proverbial starting gate in 2004, beating opponent after opponent with relative ease. By early 2008, he was unbeaten in 14 fights, with wins over quality foes Julio Chavez, Jorge Pimentel and Gamalier Rodriguez, but a three-fight losing streak in 2008-09 slowed his progress and prompted him to go to the sidelines and regroup. Now, two years after his split decision loss to David Rodela in 2009, Garcia returns to Club Nokia with a renewed determination to reach the top. Scrappy competitor Ramon Valadez (9-1, 5 KO's) has bounced back from a loss in his second professional bout to reel off eight consecutive wins and earn recognition as one of Southern California's top young prospects.

Thy Ancient Laws

So as to see ourselves, our true state and condition, and dress ourselves anew by the glass of God’s word, this is to make a proper use of it.

We have here an account of those who do not use this glass of the word as they ought. In vain do we hear God’s word, and look into the gospel glass, if we go away, and forget our spots, and forget our remedy. This is the case of those who do not hear as they ought. Those also are described who hear aright, and who use the glass of God’s word as they should do.

The gospel is a law of liberty, or of liberation. The cermeonial law was a yoke of bondage; the gospel of Christ is a law of liberty. It is a perfect law. In hearing the word, we look into this perfect law. Then only do we look into the law of liberty as we should when we continue therein. are, and shall be, blessed in their deed. This blessedness does not lie in knowing, but in doing the will of God. It is not talking, but walking, that will bring us to heaven.”

Matthew Henry Comentary on The Whole Bible; James chapter one, verses 22-25.

How Do Our Sins Get the Best of Us?

“When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.” Palsms 65:3 NIV

Scripture Reading: Psalm 65:1-13 NIV

Sin is not just rhetoric in preaching. It is the cause of the deepest woes of the human race. There is ample testimony to this fact outside religious circles. When governments try to build a just and righteous society, their prisons, criminal codes, and courts of law advertise the grim presence of sin. Sin is our greatest problem, and, as this psalmist confessed, we are not equal to it.

I. Our sins are stronger than we are in their power to fasten on us a sense of guilt we cannot shake off.

  Sin is not, and has never been, something on the surface to be easily cleared away. Sin has its seat in the human heart. Sinful pleasures lure us in anticipation. When they pass from acts anticipated to acts committed, something happens in our souls as automatic as an apple falling from a tree. All the moral laws of the universe conspire to further the process; no natural force can prevent it.
