The document discusses proper and improper methods for validating the Bible. It argues that internal evidence such as fulfilled prophecy, eyewitness testimony, and miracles provide primary validation rather than external factors like personal feelings, majority opinion, or experience. In particular, it notes that prophecies about Jesus and Israel were fulfilled, eyewitnesses including Paul risked persecution to attest to seeing Jesus resurrected, and miracles like Moses' supported the word of God.

Easter is a special time to focus teaching on the historical events most significant to Christianity. There would be no Christians if Jesus didn't die for us and then rise from the dead to prove that He can give us eternal life.
The Bible is the story of human history and God’s work in it. The most significant event in human history is the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The story of this event permeates the text of Scripture. The creation account shows God’s sovereignty over His creation.

(Successful Preachers in The Bible) — When it come to “preaching,” most measure success VERY differently from how God measures it! Most people are advocates of style over substance, smiles instead of rebuke, embelished emotional storys rather than scripture, compromise without the bold proclamation of truth.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

9. External Evidence
External Evidence Helps Confirm Scripture.
Archaeology, secular history, geography, and science are helpful.
But such evidence will never confirm all Bible statements.
When outside evidence appears to conflict, the Bible is still true!
Internal Evidence Is Primary and Sufficient.
Romans 10:17 – Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God.
John 20:30,31 – Bible writers wrote sufficient evidence to
convince us to believe
2 Timothy 3:16,17 – Scripture is sufficient to provide us to every
good work.

hundreds of years later, but less than 50 days
after the resurrection.
Men throughout the Old and New Testaments
suffered and died for their testimony. All the
apostles were persecuted and most gave their
lives for this testimony.
Yet none ever withdrew it, denied it, or retracted
it. That is the supreme proof of integrity.
