Thanks. Since the original USB cord that came with my tablet (created X7) got spoilt, I cannot charge the tab without switching it off. If I try to charge it without switching off, it will just jump to 100% no matter the level it was before charging. I have five USB cords because I thought that I will get a better one but they are the same thing. Another thing is that the battery will not last long even when it is 4000 mah. I have used different types of battery saving apps like battery doctor, du battery saver, juice defender, etc. and they couldn't find a solution to the problem. Kindly tell me what to do next! Thanks! |

PasD: -------------------------------------------------- Consider the following lessons: I. THE FUTILITY OF WEALTH A. Facts about the Titanic The luxury of the ship was incredible. -------------------------------------- First-class accommodations rivaled the finest hotels on shore. The first-class dining hall could seat 500 people in one room -- on a ship! The greatest showpiece was the Grand Staircase, which ascended four decks. The cost for a one-way passage in the finest suites would equate to $80,000 in 1997 money! (Pp. 18,19). The passengers included some of the world's greatest millionaires. ---------------------------------------------------- One of the best known was John Jacob Astor. He died, as did many others as famous or nearly as wealthy as he was. The man who designed the ship was also on board and died. B. Scriptural Lessons In this life wealthy people may have some advantages, but in death, all are equal. ---------------------------------------------------- Ecclesiastes 5:15 -- As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. Ecclesiastes 9:11 -- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all. Besides rich people, the Titanic included many poor people in third class. People who paid $80,000 for a suite died alongside people who paid the equivalent of $700. John Jacob Astor and other wealthy men were turned away from the lifeboats, because the rule was "women and children first." Likewise, no amount of money can ultimately prevent a man's death. When a rich man dies, he leaves just like the poorest man who ever lived. Therefore, God warns men not to trust in riches. ------------------------------------------------ 1 Timothy 6:17 -- Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Matthew 16:26 -- For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? [Jeremiah 9:23,24] After this life all men, rich and poor, will face their eternal destinies. John Jacob Astor, with all his millions, could no more buy a place in heaven than he could in one of those lifeboats. When we face Jesus in judgment, what matters will be how we lived, not how much we were worth. What is your goal in life? Do you live as though this world is most important or heaven is most important? Are you living so you will be ready for the day you die? II. COURAGE AND DEVOTION TO DUTY A. Facts about the Titanic Some people have perverted the story of the Titanic so as to make the crew and the male passengers appear cowardly and selfish. There may have been rare instances of this, but generally just the opposite was true. The crew -------- Devotion to study was such a strong virtue among Englishmen in that day that the book records: "...there isn't a single recorded incident of any crewmen trying to force their way into any of the lifeboats" (p174). "It was devotion to duty that ... kept Trimmer Hemming on board working at loading and lowering the boats long after his assigned lifeboat had gone; it kept [wireless operators] Phillips and Bride at the wireless even after Captain Smith released them; it kept Chief Engineer Bell and the rest of the engineering staff in the engine room even when they knew that it was far too late to reach the upper decks and get away; it kept [band leader] Wallace Hartley and the band playing until they were pitched into the sea." (p174) While it is true that a majority of the passengers died, of 892 crew members 678 died. The author states, "...the only explanation can be that they deliberately stayed away from the [life]boats" (p226). The male passengers ------------------- When the lifeboats were being loaded, the rule was "women and children first." A few men acted cowardly, but most did not. Story after story told of men putting their wives and/or children into the lifeboats, then calmly walking away rather than insisting on getting in themselves. "There was ... Colonel Gracie, working as hard as any crewman to help launch [two lifeboats]. There were Lieutenant Steffanson and Hugh Woolner helping Purser McElroy, stop a rush on [a lifeboat]. There was John Jacob Astor, meekly turning away [when told] 'Women and children only'...; or Isidor Strauss refusing to get into a boat before any other man..." (p223). Tragedy may be a time when the worst in some people comes out. But it is also a time when the best in other people comes out. B. Scriptural Lessons The Bible teaches the importance of courageously doing our duty to God and others, even at the peril of great sacrifice. Luke 17:10 -- When you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do." Luke 14:33 -- Whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. Ephesians 5:25-29 -- Specifically, men are told to cherish their wives as their own bodies and to love them even as the Lord loved the church and gave Himself for it. Feminists ridicule the Bible teaching that women should be subject to men. But the Bible also teaches men to put the welfare of their wives and children before themselves and sacrifice even their lives if necessary for them. Amazingly, when we hear of examples like the Titanic when men have done that, some feminists ridicule those stories too! John 15:13,14 -- Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. Our society has largely lost a sense of duty. The idea is commonly ridiculed. Yet the story of the Titanic ought to challenge us to appreciate the value of doing our duty. Especially Christians devote ourselves to doing our duty for the Lord, willing to lay down our lives in His service, even as Christ gave His life for us. III. THE DANGER OF OVERCONFIDENCE A. Facts about the Titanic Many passengers and crew members believed the Titanic to be unsinkable, and the ship's designers believed it was almost true. One passenger asked a ship's agent for extra insurance on some valuables in her luggage. The agent replied, "Ridiculous. This boat's unsinkable" (p45). Captain Smith himself was asked about the safety of the Titanic. He answered: "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that." (p48) After the ship had struck the iceberg, a passenger asked her employer if they should do something about it. He replied, "Go back to bed. This ship is unsinkable" (p80). The ship began to list as it took on more water. When a passenger expressed concern, another passenger replied, "You cannot sink this boat" (p82). When early reports about the tragedy began to gradually reach America, Philip Franklin, vice-president of the White Star line in New York, responded: "We place absolute confidence in the Titanic. We believe that the boat is unsinkable" (p168). One passenger asked a dock hand, "Is this ship really unsinkable?" The man replied, "Yes, lady. God Himself couldn't sink this ship" (p39). B. Scriptural Lessons The danger of pride and faith in human achievements --------------------------------------------------- Many people express similar attitudes toward human accomplishments. People have such faith and pride in human achievements, that they don't realize their need for God. Humanism says that there is no force or intelligence on earth higher than mankind. We must solve our own problems, for there is no one else to solve them. Some evolutionists believe we are evolving to the point we can solve our own problems. Other people believe wealth can solve all their problems. Or they trust human learning: science, technology, or psychology. They believe we can completely control our world and do anything we want, without depending on God. People begin to think of various aspects of their lives: "Not even God can sink this ship." But the Bible says: Proverbs 16:18 -- Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Genesis 11:4-9 -- The Titanic story is much like that of the tower of Babel. Men sought to do great things without depending on God. They thought "nothing they propose to do will be withheld from them." When men develop this pride, God often teaches us how humble and weak we really are. Psalms 9:20 -- Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Deuteronomy 8:11-13,17,18 -- People who receive great blessings, tend to forget God and think these great achievements were accomplished by themselves. So they fail to trust in God and give Him glory. James 1:17 -- God is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Acts 17:25,28 -- He gives to all life, breath, and all things. Whatever we achieve in this life, it happens only because of the abilities and blessings God provides. We could do nothing without Him. And He has the power to destroy at any moment our greatest achievements. Some day he will bring the whole world to an end. [John 15:5; 1 Tim. 6:17; Psalm 127:1 The doctrine of once saved, always saved ---------------------------------------- Some people believe that once they have become a child of God, nothing can cause them to lose their salvation. They have concluded that their relationship to God is "unsinkable" just people thought of the Titanic. 1 Corinthians 10:12 -- Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 1 Corinthians 9:27 -- Paul had to bring his body in subjection lest he himself should be disqualified. Galatians 5:4 -- These Christians had become estranged from Christ and fallen from grace. They did exactly what people say cannot happen! 2 Peter 2:20-22 -- People who have escaped the pollutions of the world can yet become entangled in them again. They would be better off had they never known the truth, but are like a dog returning to his own vomit. Our hope for eternal life is no more "unsinkable" than was the Titanic. When we begin to think we cannot be lost, then we are in the very greatest danger of doing so! [John 15:1-6; Acts 8:12-24; Romans 6:12-18; 8:12-17; Galatians 6:7-9; 1 Timothy 1:18-20; 5:8; 2 Timothy 2:16-18; Hebrews 3:6,11-14; 4:9,11; 6:4-8; 10:26-31; 2 Peter 1:8-11] Man is nothing without GOD! |
