The Christmas season can surface hidden hurts, expose harmful habits, and reveal a hijacked heart. The document suggests finding shelter in the Most High, as God knows our innermost thoughts and sees if there is any grievous way in us. It advises learning in the shelter of the Most High that there is only one God and Messiah, not ourselves, and that our job is to introduce others to the Messiah.

These are simple words, which contain a clarification of how we worship Allāh in matters related to Aslud-dīn , which a person’s Islām cannot be correct without. I wrote it as a shortened and summarized version, so that it would be a support to the Muwahhidūn (Islāmic monotheists), a jewel for close friends (of Allāh) and the believers, and an equipment for them in the call towards this religion.

A Christian Perspective on the Cause of and Solutions to CrimeTim Jacobs
This presentation demonstrates how the Christian worldview of sin and redemption provide an effective framework for understanding the origins of crime and how effective solutions can be implemented.
The Creative Differences series begins by presenting the idea that our identity as men and women is found in the image of God himself. While the culture is telling us to not look at gender differences, God wants us to celebrate masculine strength and feminine beauty.
"The Writing is on the Wall." It's a famous quote about a famous story featuring a king whose time was up. But why? Is it possible for one man's actions to change the course of an entire nation? And what is it that really makes nation
The prophet Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream that is a warning against his own pride. God uses Daniel for the purpose of getting through the king because that's what God does. God's purpose in the world is his own glory; that is, to make himself known, and he will involve his people in accomplishing that.
The question today is, "At what point, as a Christian, do I draw the line?" In other words, how do you know what hills to die on where you refuse to go along with what the rest of the culture is doing? We're going to find the answer by looking at the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3.
The book of Daniel is all about a man who found himself in a culture that was totally opposed to everything he believed in. How did he survive? This sermon starts a seven week series on how Christians need to position themselves in a culture that is becoming more secular.
As we wrap up our Above the Law series, we're going to look at the final "fruit" in the fruit of the Spirit, self-control. What does it look like, and how do we get it?
When all is said and done, do you believe that what you’re doing is really ever going to amount to anything? Will your life actually make a difference? We're going to look at Galatians 6:9, which promises those who "sow to the Spirit" will reap a harvest if they do not give up!
In a world that is distracted by #llamas and #TheDress, it's time for us to #getfocused! That's what #DiscoverDiscipline is all about. How do we live in a way that keeps eternity in mind and gets the most of out of life today?
Jesus says in Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." It's very easy to love money and thus become enslaved to it, but there is also a way to "tame" it and be able to use it for tremendous good.
Flatten the Ball, Wreck the Team (Eph. 4:14-16)Tim Jacobs
Ephesians 4:14-16 teaches us how to avoid deception and to learn to speak the truth in the love. In a culture that cleverly deceives and perpetuates self-justification by constantly feigning outrage, how do we become people who truly can speak to one another in ways that build up?
This installment in the Christmas at the Movies has to do with the movie "Elf." In it, Will Farrell plays a human who was raised on the North Pole only to find that he doesn't belong with the other elves because he is clearly not like them. So he goes on a search to find himself, and as is true for anyone on such a search, he starts first by finding his father.
But our topic today puts a twist on this story. As we'll see, while Elf is a lovely Christmas film, in all reality is the exact opposite of what the true Christmas story really is.
Miracle on 34th St is all about faith. Kris Kringle claims to be Santa Claus and that claim lands him in a courthouse, on trial to see whether he really is who he says he is. The question is, do you believe? In this sermon we're going to put Jesus on trial... what did he claim about himself? And, can we believe it? And if he is who he says he is, what does that mean for us?
This is the day we've all been waiting for... where we come together as a church and reach out for what's NEXT for us. Our sermon starts from when Nehemiah and the Israelites complete the wall and the celebration that follows.
You might be standing on the edge of a cliff with nothing but a bungee cord tied to your ankles and a helmet (and, of course, clothes). Or you might be on the tenth floor of an office building with a pen and a dotted line, waiting on a signature that will commit you to the first day of the rest of your life. Or maybe it's the final steps taken down the hallway right before you walk into the classroom where you'll start to finish your education. In those moments, whatever they might be, when the idea becomes reality, sometimes you just have to close your eyes, shoot up a quick prayer, and then say with cast iron resolution, “Let’s do this!” That’s what the Israelites said when it came to rebuilding the wall, and that’s what this message is all about!
There are fortune cookies, fortune tellers, mood rings, palm readers, and even those things you put your thumb on that tell you what kind of personality you have. But none of those things are capable of getting between your soul and your spirit - meaning, none of them can get to the core of both who you are and what you need. The word of God is the only thing that can do that. It's like a scalpel, a razor, or one of those swords that slices through a watermelon while still leaving it intact. So what is the core of who you are, and what it is that you need? Hebrews 4:12-13 tells us!

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.

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
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

7. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will
abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
- Psalm 91:1
8. O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise
up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
9. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold,
O LORD, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before, and lay
your hand upon me.
10. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it
is high; I cannot attain it.
- Psalm 139:1-6
11. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me
and know my thoughts! And see if there be any
grievous way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.
- Psalm 139:23-24
12. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will
abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
- Psalm 91:1
13. What I learn in the shelter of the Most High:
1) There’s only one God, and its not the person
I’m trying to impress.
2) There’s only one Messiah, and it isn’t me!
14. “It’s not your job to be the Messiah… it’s your job
to introduce Him.”
