 and laity does not exist in the mind of God. All of His people are called and gifted to minister. Therefore, if change is to take place in the church, be it reformation or revolution, it must begin with us—those who minister. If we are the problem (no ifs—we are), then our mindset of what is important must change.
As a child, I learned an acronym for joy that is the correct and proper attitude for a ministering servant: J—Jesus first, O—others second, and Y—yourself last. Simple, yet profoundly biblical. Sadly, “yourself” has move to the front of the bus and hijacked it, sending Jesus to the back, and leaving the others on the curb. The position and power of ministry have replaced the service of ministry. “Me” (my individual ministry) has become far more important than the mission. Thus ministry is no longer about Jesus and others; it’s all about me.
That’s not ministry! It is selfish prideful narcissism—the exact sin that deformed Lucifer into Satan. And its crippling effect is twisting the body of Christ into a caricature that looks more like a serpent than the Savior.
Where do we start then? Perhaps the better question is: “Where do I start?” The mission must be more important than me. For this to become a reality, a few moments of self examination may reveal how warped our views of ministry have become.
1. Have I fallen in love with the church (that is the power, the perks, the position, the programs, or the glamour) instead of the Creator of the church—Jesus Christ?
2. Has my ministry position in the church replaced my identity in Christ?
3. Do I preach or teach one message, but live out another?
4. Has my success become more important than sacrifice?
5. Is my survival more important than servanthood?
6. Have my wants become more important than the needs of the people I serve?
7. Do I seek to impress others rather than express who Jesus is? (A temporary impression or an eternal expression?)
8. Have ministerial reputation, politics, and resume become more significant than the people I am called to serve?
9. Have I fallen so in love with the sound of my own voice that I am no longer willing to listen to the voice of others around me, much less God?
10. Have I compromised my personal integrity so that I might achieve my own selfish agenda? (Am I justifying the end results by using any means necessary to achieve them?)Do you love it?

Volkswagen has officially introduced a new model called T-Cross. This is the smallest crossover in the line-up of the German brand.
The overall length of the Volkswagen T-Cross, built on the modular MQB platform, is 4,110 mm. The car is about 54 mm longer than the Polo hatchback put on the same chassis. But it is 120 mm shorter than the T-Roc and almost 380 mm smaller than the Tiguan.
The wheelbase reaches 2,563 mm, which is 114 mm less than that of the Tiguan. Thus, the T-Cross is close in size to the Nissan Juke.
The passenger seats are placed at a height of 597 (front) and 652 (rear) mm above the road. Passengers sit in the T-Cross about 100 mm higher than in the VW Polo.
The rear row of seats can be moved forward by 140 mm, increasing the free space in the cargo hold from 385 to 455 liters. With folded second-row seats, the trunk volume will enlarge to 1,281 liters. To transport long-length things, you can fold the front passenger seat’s back.
All T-Crosses are front-wheel drive. The model is offered with two three-cylinder petrol turbo engines of one liter, which produce 95 and 115 horsepower. A 1.5-liter 150-hp V4 is available too. There is only one diesel 1.6 liter motor with 95 hp.
Depending on the version, the crossover is equipped with a five- or six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed double-clutch automatic one.
The equipment includes LED headlights, an electronic dashboard, a multimedia complex with an 8-inch screen and four USB ports, an adaptive cruise control; a wireless charging for smartphones, a 300-watt Beats audio system with eight-channel amplifier; Blind Spot Detect, Lane Keep Assist, Frontal Collision Warning, Auto High Beam System.
Prices for the Volkswagen T-Cross will start from €17,900 in Germany. The car will be produced in the Spanish factory of the brand, where they assemble the Polo.Inspired by Don Derry's adaption of Marco Berara's design, which Don posted in the WoW File Cabinet on Jan. 28, 2007. After seeing that rig, my version was hastily cobbled together using spare parts from my scrap bins. Easily put together using salvaged/found parts, or purchased off the shelf.
The rig slides around on a plywood platform, blocked up on the lathe bed to get the tool's tip in the ballpark of lathe center. Here it's just C-clamped to the lathe bed, but carriage bolts and wingnuts would be an improvement if you have access to the bottom area of the lathe bed. The toolpost has vertical adjustment of 1" to set the tool's cutting edge on center. This gives a range of 2" on the diameter—I can move the rig from a 10" mini-lathe to my Jet 1236 with only a small adjustment, and it can be fit on any size lathe with appropriately sized blocks under the platform.
In theory, you should be able to approach the work from any angle, but only if the profile of the tool and the follower pin match each other. I didn't bother with this in the trial run, but if a round follower pin is used, the tool's tip should be round with the same radius. By the same token, if a pointed tool is used, the follower pin would be wedge-shaped. The tool profile is a basic round-nosed skewchigouge shape and is a ¼" round HSS bit epoxied into the end of a ½" mild steel shaft held in my setscrew handle.
The backbone of this rig is the tool holding base, which can be any fairly heavy sprocket wheel, gear, pulley, faceplate, or similar item, 4-6" diameter. I am using a cast iron gear with a 7⁄8" bore—a bore size of ¾" to 1" will do just fine. The base holds the toolpost (Part B), crossdrilled (C) to take the tool shaft (D). I added a setscrew collar (E) to the toolshaft to enable repeat accuracy of tool depth if it's necessary to remove tool shaft from toolpost.
First of all, the tool's tip needs to be aligned over the follower pin (F) as close as possible, using either
