First, constantly look for ways to improve performance and don't get stuck only seeing the same horizons. Second, be a constructive critic by looking for what's missing and hasn't been done yet. Third, have empathy for others, believe in their success, and help each other rather than just helping yourself. Fourth, communicate complex ideas in simple language so others can understand. Research at business schools should imagine new ways organizations could work and help them get there, rather than just observing best practices. For organizations to stay resilient, they must challenge themselves cognitively, strategically, politically, and ideologically to continuously renew themselves and seize new opportunities rather than just optimizing outdated models.

character & image building through educationTariq Rashid
This document discusses the importance of education and character building for rescuers. It defines education and character, and explains that education prepares individuals for life by developing skills and transferring knowledge between generations.

Education is important for rescuers as it allows them to get better jobs, opportunities, and build strong character. Good character involves traits like honesty, responsibility, and integrity. Education plays a key role in character development by modeling behaviors and teaching social skills.

2. It notes that employers seek graduates who want challenges and experience, as careers are less stable now.
3. Understanding current employment trends can help individuals stay employable by updating skills and maintaining networks to handle uncertainty.
Educational aims refer to the internal development and growth of the individual through the educational process itself. Aims provide direction, motivation and criteria for evaluation. Educational purposes refer to external goals and outcomes of education such as developing skilled workers or professionals. While the aim of education is to cultivate an educated person, it also serves worthwhile societal purposes by producing citizens who can contribute as workers and colleagues. Both aims and purposes are important for education.
Education is a systematic process through which a child or an adult acquires knowledge, experience, skill and sound attitude. It makes an individual civilized, refined, cultured and educated.
Moral values are standards that govern individual behavior and choices. They can be derived from society, government, religion, or oneself. Moral values are flexible depending on one's culture but generally refer to what is considered right or wrong. A useful way to think about one's moral compass is that it has four directions - integrity, forgiveness, compassion, and responsibility - which represent universal principles honored across cultures. Some examples of moral values discussed include prejudice, lying, oppression, treason, willful ignorance, brainwashing of children, murder, greed, theft, fraud, and violence.
The document provides tips for building strong character and imbibing strong moral values in personal and professional life. It emphasizes self-acceptance, self-improvement through goal setting, and focusing on inner beauty rather than outward appearances. It also stresses being kind to others, making small acts of appreciation, and creating opportunities for learning from both successes and failures.

1. The document discusses the relationship between holiness and love. It argues that God calls believers to be holy as He is holy, and that He chose believers to be holy and blameless out of His love.
2. Holiness involves separating from worldly impurity, dedicating oneself fully to God, and being sensitive to what is right. True holiness comes through the cleansing blood of Jesus at the cross.
3. Love is also essential in the believer's relationship with God, who is defined as love. Believers should love one another as God first loved us through sending Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for sins.

1) The document calls Christians to have alert and sober minds as they set their hope fully on Jesus and the grace he will bring.
2) It encourages believers to no longer conform to sinful desires as in their past ignorance, but to be holy as God is holy in everything they do.
3) Christians are called to live as foreigners and aliens in this world, with reverent fear as they know God will judge all people impartially based on their works. They are to love one another deeply from the heart.
The document outlines a mission to love God and others through discipleship, evangelism, equipping others, and promoting family. Following Jesus' command, the mission aims to make disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey God's commands until they are mature in Christ. The mission will also serve the poor through compassion to extend God's grace. Led by the Holy Spirit, the ultimate goals are to advance God's kingdom and pass the faith to future generations.

The document honors Kelly's life and friendship.
The document discusses why Christians need God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, baptism, communion, and the church according to the Bible. It provides reasons for each, citing passages to support why they are necessary for salvation and eternal life. The key points are that we need God as our creator, redeemer, and provider; we need Jesus Christ as our mediator and mentor to guide us; we need the Holy Spirit as promised by God and to do His work regenerating and sanctifying believers; and we need the gospel (Bible) to be saved by God's power and to remain saved by holding to its teachings.
This document discusses praying to know God better through wisdom and revelation from the Holy Spirit. It encourages thanking God for the faith of believers and praying to understand the hope of God's calling, His inheritance in believers, and His great power, as described in Ephesians 1. Various quotes are provided about hope and Scripture giving encouragement. The overall message is to pray for enlightenment on these spiritual blessings and truths.
This document discusses the concept of love through several Bible passages. It first defines love as Jesus laying down his life for humanity, and God sending his Son as a sacrifice for sins. It notes God loved the world so much he gave his Son so that all who believe in him will have eternal life. Another passage says that greater love has no one than to lay down one's life for friends. The document urges readers to comprehend the breadth, length, height and depth of Christ's love, which surpasses knowledge, and to be filled with all the fullness of God. It closes by asking God to direct hearts into his love and Christ's steadfastness.
This document contains a prayer, scripture passages from the books of John and 1 John, and commentary discussing the key themes of love and obedience. It discusses how Jesus calls his followers friends rather than servants, and how we can know we are his friends by keeping his commandment to love one another. It emphasizes that belief in Jesus and obedience to his commands of love for God and others are inseparable, and that God's commandments to love are not burdensome but lead to victory over the world.
The document discusses the Holy Spirit and experiencing a life filled with the Holy Spirit. It describes how Jesus promised the disciples the Holy Spirit would come after He ascended to heaven. On the day of Pentecost, the disciples experienced the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and boldly preaching. The document encourages seeking a similar experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer and asking God, in order to gain power, gifts, and a closer relationship with God.
The Holy Spirit is the Voice of God, the Power of God and the Presence of God we experience on earth yet He is often the most ignored, misunderstood and possibly the most grieved member of the Godhead when He is not treated as a real Person but rather as a force or power. This slide series should help us love and appreciate the Holy Spirit for Whom He really is.
Pope Francis gave a homily during Mass for the 500th anniversary of the Evangelization of the Philippines. He summarized that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, and that the Gospel message is Jesus himself, who gives us life. The source of our joy is being loved by God throughout our lives. God loves us so much that he gave us his entire life through his Son.
1) The document discusses the history and significance of communion and the Lord's Supper in the Bible and early church.
2) It describes how Jesus established the tradition of the Last Supper and its symbolism of bread and wine representing his body and blood.
3) It summarizes Paul's teachings to the Corinthians about properly discerning and partaking in communion as a unified community, rather than exacerbating divisions, to avoid bringing judgment on themselves.
Even though we know prayer is vital, it’s not always the easiest habit to maintain. Jesus’ teaching on prayer is recorded in Scripture, so let’s look at His instructions and grow in this area.
This document encourages believers to pray bold, ambitious prayers that are worthy of God's power and glory. It notes that God calls us to ask Him for "great and mighty things" we don't even know, and cites examples from the Bible of individuals like Jabez who asked God for big blessings. The document suggests praying for inheritance over nations and possession of the earth, and notes that the early church prayed earnestly for Peter's release from prison. The overall message is that Christians should pray God-sized prayers that reflect our faith in a BIG God who can do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.
God loved the world so much that he sent his one and only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son to condemn the world but to save it, so that through believing in Jesus, one can have eternal life and be put right with God. The Bible warns that those who touch Israel, whom God calls the apple of his eye, will face His judgment and wrath.
John was one of Jesus's inner circle who was with him from the beginning. He took care of Mary after Jesus's death and authored the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation. As an elder in the church at Ephesus, John was exiled to the island of Patmos where he received a revelation from Jesus about what must soon take place.
The document discusses the fear of the Lord and what it means to live in the fear of the Lord. It explains that the fear of the Lord is living in awe, respect, and honor towards God, putting Him first in life. It outlines three things about living in the fear of the Lord: having the right attitude of listening to God and treasuring His commands, taking the right actions of obeying God and walking with integrity, and receiving rewards like joy, wisdom, and avoidance of evil.
This document discusses building a strong family through wisdom, knowledge, and focusing on fear of the Lord, love, and peace. It notes that righteous families will be blessed and children should be taught God's words from youth. It outlines five phases of parenting from infant to caring for adult children and emphasizes disciplining children with love to bring peace and joy. Parents are advised to have clear rules without rebellion, choose battles wisely, and admit mistakes while setting expectations to help children fulfill their purpose.
This document discusses the importance of family according to passages from Proverbs. It notes that wisdom builds a strong house and family, while trouble within the family inherits trouble. It is better to have little with peace than great wealth with turmoil. A meal with loved ones is better than a feast with those you hate. Righteousness blesses one's children. Disciplining children brings peace of mind. Training children in the right way leads them not to depart from it when older.
This document discusses two Bible verses about God's love for the world and his plan for salvation. John 3:16 describes how God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will have eternal life rather than perish. John 12:27-28 recounts Jesus expressing troubled feelings about his coming crucifixion but submitting to God's will, and a voice from heaven affirming that God will be glorified through this event.
This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing faith and the future. Hebrews 13 encourages having faith in God rather than fearing people. Hebrews 12 says to run the race of life with endurance, fixing eyes on Jesus. James 4 warns that people should not presume what tomorrow will bring and instead say "if the Lord wills." Revelation 21 describes God making all things new and wiping away tears in heaven. Philippians 3 says to forget the past and press on toward perfection through Christ.
This document summarizes key points from 2 Peter 1:1-11 about responding to God's promises. It discusses how:
God has given us everything we need through His power to live godly lives and receive great promises. These promises allow us to share in God's divine nature. We are called to make every effort to respond to God's promises through faith and growing in excellence, knowledge, self-control, godliness, love and more. Responding to God's promises leads to hope, growth, and being chosen for God's eternal kingdom.
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
The document discusses biblical wisdom from Proverbs regarding handling money. It notes that God owns everything and gives people the ability to earn wealth. It advises planning, being patient in the money process, and following principles like honoring God, being generous, and avoiding deceitful ways of obtaining money. The main points are to plan financially, be patient in the process of earning and achieving money goals, and follow biblical principles for responsible money management.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewi...Hatfield Christian Church
This document discusses the ideas of strength and honour. Strength refers to personal qualities while honour refers to respect in battle. It provides biblical sources that discuss drawing strength from God, his word, and remaining in him. It notes examples from the Bible where people were not alone even in difficult times and encourages remembering that God loves us. It concludes by discussing showing honour to others.
The document discusses authority in God's kingdom and how Christians should respond to authority. It notes that authority was God's idea and should be exercised as a servant who will give an account. Believers should live under authority prayerfully, obediently, and with a respectful heart. At home, children should honor their parents, and beyond home, how one exercises and responds to authority is part of their Christian testimony and obedience to God.
‘Towers’, ‘tragedy’ and even ‘terrorism’ are often words used to describe relationships between different nations and people groups. Is it really possible for diverse people to live together in unity?
The document discusses how words originate from the heart and can have powerful effects. It notes that words guided by wisdom promote life but uncontrolled words can spread evil like fire. While the tongue is small, it can steer one's life and corrupt the whole body. Words have the power to praise God and curse people, so we must be careful. Ultimately, words spoken in truth and moderation can bring healing and life to communities.
Are you a good communicator? Are you able to put into words what is in your heart and able to understand what others are saying? Let’s see if the book of Proverbs can help us improve our communication.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
