God, Hope & Helping Others

Inspired by the bacteria-shredding abilities of the wings of dragonflies, researchers have discovered that the spiky surface of black silicon can function in the same way.

The research was based on the surface structure of the wing of the Wandering Percher dragonfly, which has tiny spikes that kill both rod-shaped and spherical bacteria. Similar to the dragonfly’s wing, the surface of black silicon is marked with long, narrow nanoprotrusions that have been proven effective against a wide array of bacteria and endospores, including golden staph bacteria.

According to Professor Russell Crawford, one of the researchers leading the project, the black silicon “represents an exciting prospect for the development of a new generation of antibacterial nanomaterials that could be applied to the surfaces of medical implants, making them far safer.”

It is the Ministry of NSearch that all inherit the Kingdom of God

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law....

Now the works of the flesh are evident, 

which are adultery fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,

outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,

murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;

of which I (Paul the Apostle) tell you beforehand,

just as I also told you in time past, that those who 

practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,

against such there is no law. Those who are Christ's

have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,

envying one another.

Galatians 5:18-26

{Sorcery: "Pharmakia;" Primarily mentioned as one of the "works of the flesh." In "sorcery" the use of drugs. Blue Letter Bible. Galatians 5:20}
