The Hindu faith is unusual to Westerners and is a unique and novel religion. People are sometimes confused about its central beliefs and practices, and this is a session designed to help people better understand and interact with Hindus and the Hindu Religion. Written from an inquisitive point of view, it also explores questions about how Christians might engage Hindus for dialogue and discussion, while stretching their own faith.

Most tend to think of our salvation (sin, salvation, atonement and judgment) as being primarily judicial. In this lesson we will see that it is vital to also see our salvation as relational.

This presentation explains why Creation and Creationism (the view that God created the worlds from nothing and people as a special creation in His image) is such an important theme in evangelical Christianity.
A Call of Duty for Christian men to fight the good fight of the faith by facing the brutal facts about the world today believing that, in the end, we will be victorious in Christ as faithful men.
What is God like? He is forgiving.
Forgiveness is important because that is how we maintain healthy relationships, fellowship, and intimacy with others and God.
"God is Forgiving" is Session 4 in the Beyond Belief study that has been exploring the character of God.
is God fair? Well, we know that "life" isn't always fair... and we sometimes wonder how God and His justice intersects with our lives to 'right' the 'wrongs' of human existence.
The Old Testament Prophet Ezekiel saw God’s people suffer what appeared to be coarse injustice. But as time unfolded, they came to realize that God is always just—even when life seems unfair.
Join us as we learn more about this important attribute of God that will help you grow in your understanding of God, while helping you in your spiritual maturity.
God is Loving, Beyond Belief Series, Session 2, CardozaFreddy Cardoza
What is God Like? If God is anything, He is "loving." In fact, God isn't only loving-- He is "love," personified. His being emanates love through His great kindness toward all people, because God genuinely loves us.
God's love for us is in spite of our sometimes less than ideal behaviors and inconsistency. Take some time to learn more about God's love by learning about God's character as told originally by the Apostle John.... the "disciple Jesus loved." After all, who would know better than the one known as "the beloved?"
We'll springboard from learning about God's love into deeper issues related to how God manifested His love most, which has been the person of Jesus Christ. In this podcast, we will plunge deeply into some important theological ideas to remove the mystery and maximize the majesty of the great God of the Bible.
God is Holy, Beyond Belief Series, Session 1, CardozaFreddy Cardoza
The Holy Bible says that God is Holy. That means, among other things, that God is both transcendent (far above us) and immanent (with us). In these two concepts we learn much about who God is and what He is like. This lesson is part of a multi-sessions series on the Character of God from my book "Beyond Belief" published by LifeWay Publishers, www.lifeway.com. (c) 2015. Freddy Cardoza. If shared, please include author name and www.freddycardoza.com.
How can we discern direction in life? What are reliable and unreliable sources of knowledge for Christians? How can Christian believers understand what God wants them to do? Using biblical insight, philosophical theology, and experience from over 30 years as a Christian believer, this lesson shares valuable truths about how to Know God's Will.

This is Your Conscience Speaking by Dr. Freddy CardozaFreddy Cardoza
How does the "conscience" work? What is the conscience? How does it help us know what to do? From a Christian biblical perspective, this is an overview of how to know God's Will through the working of the human conscience.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
