Biblical Worldview Core Competency Foundational to the Christian faith is the belief that God is actively involved with His creation . Explain how this belief affects the way we interact with people within a chosen vocation? Two points of clarification may be helpful: 1. The word belief in this assignment is essentially synonymous with the word doctrine . 2. It would be wise to select the chosen vocation that you intend to have upon graduation. The strongest essays will effectively incorporate support from Scripture, and potentially 1 or more of the three course textbooks. An essay demonstrating excellent comprehension will include the following elements: Knowledge: You identify and describe 1 or more key biblical passages to support the doctrine. Integration: You identify meaningful points of connection between 1 or more biblical passages and vocation. Implementation: You apply 1 or more biblical passages to specific scenarios within the chosen vocation. .

When studying a subject involving religion or ministry, one term often heard is theology. There are many different types of theology. What exactly is theology? How is theology useful and what is the difference between the variations?
Systematic Theology
Systematic Theology, as defined by B.A. Demarest, is the “attempt to reduce religious
truth to a coherent and relevant whole for the church” (Elwell 2001, 1163). Its purpose is to expound upon Biblical truth, discovering the authentic meaning and presenting it in a way that is comprehendible and applicable to the church as a whole. This also means that over the years it will need to be re-evaluated as society continually changes and the relevance of teachings may need to be modified. The truth of the word never changes however, the way it is applied may be a variable. Being able to expound upon the biblical truths, in a way others can easily comprehend can allow new followers to grasp onto the fundamental principles of who God is, and our role in relationship with Him. Maintaining relevancy to current times and trials will allow adaptation of biblical principles to present day issues.
Biblical Theology
Biblical Theology, although a type of theology, was also seen as a movement. Its meaning can be presented in two differing ways. As Erickson describes, the first meaning involves two approaches: a “purely descriptive approach” or presentation of the teachings of the New Testament writers and a “pure biblical theology”, which is the “isolation and presentation of the unchanging biblical teachings that are valid for all times” (Erickson 2013, 11). Biblical theology is obtained by simple facts of the Bible, stated in original form, unchanged, and with timeless validity. In relation to systematic theology, biblical theology is concerned more with breaking down the Bible to discover the authentic meaning in individ ...

The document provides a set of discussion questions related to biblical interpretation and canonization. Question 1 asks about the definition of "canon" and its relationship to the development and criteria used for establishing the New Testament. It asks which criteria is most important and least important for canonization. Question 2 defines "formally equivalent" and "functionally equivalent" Bible translations and asks which is more word-for-word and which is more thought-for-thought. It discusses using multiple translations and recommends translations for new believers. Question 3 addresses the importance of literary context in interpretation and defines different contexts. Question 4 defines "historical-cultural background" and the process of contextualization. It asks how one would explain these concepts to a
Expository Preaching Outlines
In this post I discuss in detail expository preaching outlines. A good rule of thumb is to create and develop outline points that the listener can understand if all he or she had was a Bible and the written outline. As he or she reads the passage and observes the expository sermon outline points it should be obvious how the selected text dramatically relates to his or her Christian journey. The outline should not merely inform the reader of a “premise” or a “promise” but rather help them to do some soul-searching that may lead to a transformed life.

This document discusses the divine inspiration of the canonical books of the Christian Bible. It argues that the Bible was written by humans under the direct inspiration of God to ensure what was written was exactly what God wanted. While some scholars debate issues like reliability due to human involvement, the document maintains the Bible is God-breathed and inerrant. It outlines different views on inspiration, from the liberal view which questions infallibility, to the historic/evangelical view which affirms the Bible's supreme authority as God's revelation. The document provides reasons to believe in inspiration, like the coherence of the 66 books over time and geography, Christianity's universal applicability, and the preservation of faith in God embodied in the Bible.

Process-of-Biblical-Integration.pptx
The document provides guidance for developing a Biblical Integration Paper (BIP) that faculty members at Cedarville University are expected to complete. The BIP should articulate the faculty member's Christian worldview and how they integrate biblical principles into their academic discipline or professional field. It should address five key areas: 1) their Christian beliefs, 2) correlations between Scripture and their discipline, 3) their commitment to Christian higher education, 4) how faith influences their teaching and lifestyle, and 5) methods for communicating integration in the classroom. The document offers details on the expected content, format, and quality of the BIP to clearly demonstrate a biblical worldview applied to the individual's discipline.
Meaning and Application
This document provides instruction on applying biblical meaning through a process of observation, interpretation, and application. It explains that application involves observing how biblical principles address the original situation, exploring parallel modern situations, and making specific applications. An example applies Philippians 4:13 about strength through Christ to contemporary difficulties faced by faithful believers. Homework assigns taking 1 Timothy 6:10 on the love of money through the interpretive journey process, including application.
Meaning and Application
This document provides instruction on applying biblical meaning to one's life through a process of observation, interpretation, and application. It explains that application involves finding parallel modern situations addressed by the theological principles in the text. Application must stay true to the author's intended meaning and make specific scenarios or stories relevant to a contemporary audience. The document uses Philippians 4:13 as an example of applying meaning through exploring the original context, finding differences to modern contexts, identifying timeless principles, and discovering a parallel application.
Hermeneutics
Hermeneutics is the science and art of biblical interpretation. It seeks to establish rules and principles for properly understanding and applying the meaning of biblical texts. There are various challenges in interpreting Scripture due to historical, cultural, philosophical, and linguistic differences between biblical times and today. Hermeneutics must account for these obstacles to derive the author's original intended meaning. There are also debates around issues like determining the valid meaning of texts, the possibility of multiple meanings, and whether passages should be interpreted literally, figuratively, or symbolically. Jesus viewed the Old Testament as historically accurate and authoritative, supporting the view that Scripture is without error.

Important Note: When organizing/writing your strategic management plan, use professional APA formatting and also continue using the: Module 7: Strategic Management Model provided in module 7 and also found in this module. This model is also located within the PowerPoints and textbook.
· Also, when submitting your 2nd part of this final project, submit themaster file including the complete strategic management plan.
Picking up where you left off with Final Project Part I, use the questions and tasks below as a guide in developing the 2nd part of your strategic plan. It should be noted that everyone is encouraged to use any other relevant information beyond the questions below to showcase your strategic planning skills learned in this course. In addition to the book, be sure to cite and use outside scholarly research where appropriate to support this plan. Furthermore, using keyword internet searches like Strategic Planning or Strategic Planning Templates will give you access to examples which will guide you with additional ideas.
1. In a previous phase of the strategic plan, you developed long-term objectives for your company. Using these as a guide, document the short-term objectives and the subsequent functional tactics that will guide the implementation of your strategy. Use your book and research as a guide to how this should be done and be sure to include the specific departments or people that will be responsible for each of the functional tactics.
2. Create a five-year timeline for implementing the strategies. Also for this phase, describe your organization's culture. Pay particular attention to the management styles; the decision-making process; communication patterns, employee attitudes towards authority, work, productivity, and risk; territorial feelings; levels of cooperation between departments; attire; reward system; values; and deeply held beliefs within the organization. What stories, if any, has become part of the folklore of the organization, passed down to new employees?
3. Draft a budget for your organization estimating the costs and expected revenues from implementing the strategies that you have identified and use a five-year time horizon.
4. Also, test your grand and functional strategies against the culture and based on this test, are all the strategies doable or will a change in strategy or culture be required? Remember, one need not discard all the strategies if a few require alteration. If you cannot change the strategy or the culture, how might you implement the strategy by "managing around the culture?"

This document outlines an integrated model for evangelical theology consisting of 12 essential elements: canonical, Christocentric, contextual, ecclesiastical, exegetical, historical, logical, missional, practical, scientific, systematic, and Trinitarian. It then discusses each of these elements in more detail. The proposed model integrates biblical, historical, systematic, and practical theology with a missional and Christocentric lens. The goal is to understand God's word and will in order to strengthen the church and its ministry.

This document discusses tensions that may arise from differing worldviews between healthcare administrators, providers, and patients. It prompts the reader to consider how concepts like "God," "Person," "Environment," "Health," and "Nursing" would be defined according to the Bible passage Colossians 1. It then provides an assignment prompt for a comparative analysis paper on the perspectives of Christianity and a non-Christian faith (such as Sikhism, Baha'i, or Buddhism) on providing healthcare. The paper must address worldview questions, components of healing across religions, and implications for multi-faith patient care. It should conclude with the author's perspective on healing and lessons learned from the research.

Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products,.docx
Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products, including: home goods, clothing, toys, and food. The company is a regional retailer with 10 brick-and-mortar stores as well as a popular online store. Due to the recent credit card data breaches of various prominent national retail companies (e.g., Target, Home Depot, Staples), the Bullzeye Board of Directors has taken particular interest in information security, especially as it pertains to the protection of credit cardholder data within the Bullzeye environment. The Board has asked executive management to evaluate and strengthen the enterprise’s information security infrastructure, where needed.
In order to respond to the Board regarding their preparedness for a cyber-security attack, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has engaged your IT consulting firm to identify the inherent risks and recommend control remediation strategies to prevent or to detect and appropriately respond to data breaches. Your firm has been requested to liaison with the Internal Audit Department during the engagement. Your first step is to gain an understanding of Bullzeye’s IT environment. The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) schedules a meeting with key Bullzeye leadership personnel, including the CFO, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The following key information was obtained.
Background
IT Security Framework/Policy -
Bullzeye has an information security policy, which was developed by the CISO. The policy was developed in response to an internal audit conducted by an external firm hired by the CAE. The policy is not based on one specific IT control framework but considers elements contained within several frameworks. An information security committee has been recently formed to discuss new security risks and to develop mitigation strategies.
The meeting will be held monthly and include the CISO and other key IT Directors reporting to the CIO.
In addition, a training program was implemented last year in order to provide education on various information security topics (e.g., social engineering, malware, etc.). The program requires that all staff within the IT department complete an annual information security training webinar and corresponding quiz. The training program is complemented by a monthly e-mail sent to IT staff, which highlights relevant information security topics.
General IT Environment -
Most employees in the corporate office are assigned a standard desktop computer, although certain management personnel in the corporate and retail locations are issued a laptop if they can demonstrate their need to work remotely. The laptops are given a standard Microsoft Windows operating system image, which includes anti-malware/anti-virus software and patch update software among others. In addition, new laptops are now encrypted; however, desktops and existing laptops are not currently encrypted due to budget concerns. The user provisioning.

Process-of-Biblical-Integration.pptx
The document provides guidance for developing a Biblical Integration Paper (BIP) that faculty members at Cedarville University are expected to complete. The BIP should articulate the faculty member's Christian worldview and how they integrate biblical principles into their academic discipline or professional field. It should address five key areas: 1) their Christian beliefs, 2) correlations between Scripture and their discipline, 3) their commitment to Christian higher education, 4) how faith influences their teaching and lifestyle, and 5) methods for communicating integration in the classroom. The document offers details on the expected content, format, and quality of the BIP to clearly demonstrate a biblical worldview applied to the individual's discipline.
Meaning and Application
This document provides instruction on applying biblical meaning through a process of observation, interpretation, and application. It explains that application involves observing how biblical principles address the original situation, exploring parallel modern situations, and making specific applications. An example applies Philippians 4:13 about strength through Christ to contemporary difficulties faced by faithful believers. Homework assigns taking 1 Timothy 6:10 on the love of money through the interpretive journey process, including application.
Meaning and Application
This document provides instruction on applying biblical meaning to one's life through a process of observation, interpretation, and application. It explains that application involves finding parallel modern situations addressed by the theological principles in the text. Application must stay true to the author's intended meaning and make specific scenarios or stories relevant to a contemporary audience. The document uses Philippians 4:13 as an example of applying meaning through exploring the original context, finding differences to modern contexts, identifying timeless principles, and discovering a parallel application.
Hermeneutics
Hermeneutics is the science and art of biblical interpretation. It seeks to establish rules and principles for properly understanding and applying the meaning of biblical texts. There are various challenges in interpreting Scripture due to historical, cultural, philosophical, and linguistic differences between biblical times and today. Hermeneutics must account for these obstacles to derive the author's original intended meaning. There are also debates around issues like determining the valid meaning of texts, the possibility of multiple meanings, and whether passages should be interpreted literally, figuratively, or symbolically. Jesus viewed the Old Testament as historically accurate and authoritative, supporting the view that Scripture is without error.

Important Note: When organizing/writing your strategic management plan, use professional APA formatting and also continue using the: Module 7: Strategic Management Model provided in module 7 and also found in this module. This model is also located within the PowerPoints and textbook.
· Also, when submitting your 2nd part of this final project, submit themaster file including the complete strategic management plan.
Picking up where you left off with Final Project Part I, use the questions and tasks below as a guide in developing the 2nd part of your strategic plan. It should be noted that everyone is encouraged to use any other relevant information beyond the questions below to showcase your strategic planning skills learned in this course. In addition to the book, be sure to cite and use outside scholarly research where appropriate to support this plan. Furthermore, using keyword internet searches like Strategic Planning or Strategic Planning Templates will give you access to examples which will guide you with additional ideas.
1. In a previous phase of the strategic plan, you developed long-term objectives for your company. Using these as a guide, document the short-term objectives and the subsequent functional tactics that will guide the implementation of your strategy. Use your book and research as a guide to how this should be done and be sure to include the specific departments or people that will be responsible for each of the functional tactics.
2. Create a five-year timeline for implementing the strategies. Also for this phase, describe your organization's culture. Pay particular attention to the management styles; the decision-making process; communication patterns, employee attitudes towards authority, work, productivity, and risk; territorial feelings; levels of cooperation between departments; attire; reward system; values; and deeply held beliefs within the organization. What stories, if any, has become part of the folklore of the organization, passed down to new employees?
3. Draft a budget for your organization estimating the costs and expected revenues from implementing the strategies that you have identified and use a five-year time horizon.
4. Also, test your grand and functional strategies against the culture and based on this test, are all the strategies doable or will a change in strategy or culture be required? Remember, one need not discard all the strategies if a few require alteration. If you cannot change the strategy or the culture, how might you implement the strategy by "managing around the culture?"
5. Establish a structure for your organization and provide a diagram of the structure. Also, explain how the structure supports your grand strategy and select critical success factors for your organization. Why did you ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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

Biblical Worldview Core CompetencyFoundational to the Christia.docx
- 1. Biblical Worldview Core Competency Foundational to the Christian faith is the belief that God is actively involved with His creation . Explain how this belief affects the way we interact with people within a chosen vocation? Two points of clarification may be helpful: 1. The word belief in this assignment is essentially synonymous with the word doctrine . 2. It would be wise to select the chosen vocation that you intend to have upon graduation. The strongest essays will effectively incorporate support from Scripture, and potentially 1 or more of the three course textbooks. An essay demonstrating excellent comprehension will include the following elements: Knowledge: You identify and describe 1 or more key biblical passages to support the doctrine. Integration: You identify meaningful points of connection between 1 or more biblical passages and vocation. Implementation: You apply 1 or more biblical passages to specific scenarios within the chosen vocation.
