The document outlines 10 things that are undermining the church today according to Dr. Peter Hammond: 1) Prayerlessness and lack of vibrant prayer meetings. 2) Neglect of studying the word of God. 3) Lack of fear of God as the fundamental attitude of faith. 4) Acceptance of evolutionism which denies accountability to God. 5) Egalitarianism which rejects authority and respect for elders. 6) Antinomianism which rejects God's moral law. 7) Overuse of worldly entertainment that promotes superficiality. 8) Secular humanist education that dethrones God. 9) Lack of missionary vision and focus on the Great Commission. 10) Ignorance of history from a
Biblical Faith is trust in the Sovereignty of God;
surrender to the Lordship of Christ;
obedience to the Word of God;
willingness to sacrifice for the Kingdom of God;
determination to seek first the Kingdom of God;
following in the steps of Christ;
putting Biblical duty first;
courage to overcome our fears;
boldness to obey God in spite of all opposition;
perseverance in spite of setbacks;
and discernment as to what is that good, acceptable and perfect Will of God (Romans 12:2).

Is Body Piercing and Tattooing something Christians should be doing? In some of the most unexpected places we are confronted by a revival of the old tribal practices of body scarification, body piercing and body mutilation.
This is a study of Jesus being mourned for being pierces. When the people of Israel see the Lord coming again they will mourn that Jewish people let their Savior be pierced on the cross. God accepts their repentance and they are saved.
The temptation to introduce "new" things into the work of God has always been too strong for some people to resist... Today this trend has accelerated beyond recognition despite A.W. Tozer's warning. Christians should be spiritually awakened so as to discern God’s original ways from man-made false ways in every area of Christianity.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. What ever happened to the Prayer Meeting?
For centuries the Prayer Meeting was an essential part of Church life,
an indispensable part of the weekly programme.
PRAYERLESSNESS
4. Yet few churches today have an active, vibrant Prayer Meeting
in which most members participate.
5. "Then Jesus told His disciples… that they should always pray
and not give up." Luke 18:1.
6. We need to know the Word of God and the God of the Word.
God guides us first and foremost through His Word.
The best way to know the Will of God is to study the Word of God.
NEGLECT OF THE WORD OF GOD
7. It is our priority to ensure
that we are
"…not conformed to this
world, but transformed by
the renewing of our minds,
then we will be able
to prove what is that
good and acceptable
and perfect will of God."
Romans 12:2.
8. The reverential awe, respect and fear of God
must be the fundamental attitude of our Faith.
LACK OF THE FEAR OF GOD
9. Any view of God which does not lead us to fear God and obey His Law
cannot be a Biblical view.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Psalm 111:10.
10. Only the fear of God can produce lasting justice and righteousness
in individuals, families, churches and nations.
11. Jesus said: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body,
but cannot kill the soul, rather be afraid of the one who can
destroy both body and soul in hell." Matthew 10:28.
12. Evolutionism and its denial of the Creator,
and therefore of accountability to Almighty God on Judgement Day,
erodes the very foundations of Christian civilisation.
EVOLUTIONISM
13. Evolutionism destroys all meaning, purpose and justice in life.
"You came from nothing! You are going nowhere! Life is meaningless!"
Evolution is an attempt to retroactively abort God.
14. Yet all too many Christians have bought into the lie of Evolution
and erode the foundational truths of Genesis.
15. The theory of evolution, as so often propagated by films, and in many
children’s books, and in state school textbooks, is an attempt to abort
God retroactively.
16.
17. The Bible says: “The fool says in his heart, there is no God. They are
corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.”
Psalm 14:1
18. "…For since the Creation of the world His invisible attributes
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
even His Eternal power and Godhead,
so that they are without excuse."
Romans 1:18-20.
19. The rejection of authority and lack of respect for elders,
produces a self-centred and selfish society.
The Ten Commandments effectively forbids egalitarianism.
EGALITARIANISM
21. God is not egalitarian. Nothing in nature is egalitarian.
Each one of us are called to be faithful to our duty.
22. We are not to covet
what others have.
We are not to steal
other people's property,
nor are we to
dishonour our parents
or other superiors.
23. Neither may we lie, gossip
or slander others.
Instead of an attitude
of entitlement,
we need to rediscover
the lost art of respect.
24. "Obey those
who rule over you
and be submissive,
for they watch out
for your souls
as those who must
give an account.
Let them do so
with joy and
not with grief,
for that would be
unprofitable
for you."
Hebrews 13:17.
25. "You shall rise before the grey-headed and honour the
presence of an old man, and fear your God. I am the Lord."
Leviticus 19:32.
26. "The eye that mocks his father and scorns obedience to his mother, the
ravens of the valley will pick it out and the young eagles will eat it."
Proverbs 30:17.
27. The rejection of God's moral Law inevitably leads to lawlessness,
where everyone does what is right in his own eyes.
"Sin is lawlessness." 1 John 3:4.
ANTINOMIANISM
28. "The Law is Holy and the Commandment holy
and just and good." Romans 7:12.
29. God spoke the Ten Commandments with His own voice.
He wrote them with His own finger upon tablets of stone.
In the New Covenant,
God has written His Law upon our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33).
30. "Therefore the Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ,
that we might be justified by Faith." Galatians 3:24.
"The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." Psalm 19:7.
31. We need to beware of technology encroaching on our lives.
Technology is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Has the TV become your family altar and electronic babysitter?
WORLDLY ENTERTAINMENT
32. Superficial, sensational and immoral material predominates in the
modern entertainment industry and it is producing an increasingly
superficial, selfish, mindless and immoral society.
33. "Since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God,
He gave them over to a depraved mind…" Romans 1:28.
35. "Be very careful, then, how you live, not as
unwise, but as wise, making the most of every
opportunity, because the days are evil."
Ephesians 5:15-16.
36. Anyone who believes that education can be neutral is mistaken.
Ideas have consequences. Actions flow from thought patterns.
SECULAR HUMANIST EDUCATION
38. All education is inherently religious, because it presents
a certain perspective and selection of history, values and practices
and it prescribes a worldview.
40. Children do not belong to the state.
Children are made in the image of God and are entrusted to parents to:
"Bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.“
Ephesians 6:4
41. "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and
deceptive philosophy, which depends upon human tradition
and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
Colossians 2:8.
42. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
The Great Commission should be our supreme ambition.
The last command of Christ should be our first concern.
LACK OF MISSIONARY VISION
43. The Church is called to be a House of Prayer for all nations.
We are called to "…disciple the nations, teaching obedience
to all things that the Lord has commanded…" (Matthew 28:18-20).
44. "In the time of those kings, the God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom
that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people.
It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end.
But will itself endure forever." Daniel 2:44
45. "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the nations will bow down before Him,
for our dominion belongs to the Lord and He rules over the nations."
Psalm 22:27-28
46. Real history, told from a Biblical perspective, is a treasure
of the Church that can teach us about truth that has endured.
IGNORANCE OF HISTORY
47. In the Scriptures we are commanded to understand the times
so that we may know what we ought to do (1 Chronicles 12:32).
48. We need to understand the events and issues of the past
that correspond with our challenges today.
50. To liberate our thinking from current fashions and to recognise potential
potholes and traps, we need to understand the people, events
and issues that shaped our past and affect our present.
52. "Now these things became our examples,
to the intent that we should not lust after evil things,
as they also lusted, now all these things happened
to them as examples,
and they are written for our admonition…"
1 Corinthians 10:6-11.
