Relationships 101 Biblical Courtship and Marriagecebrooks50
These slides contain a brief introduction to biblical courtship. But be warned. What you are about to see may sound archaic, outdated, old-fashioned, ancient and very technical. Much of what Pastor Chuck Brooks is going to share is from a culture that has gone extinct in the United States but, be assured, the principals of courtship are found in God’s timeless and Holy Word. In its day biblical courtship kept many boys and girls from being sexually active before the age of 18. It kept millions of teenagers from getting pregnant annually. It kept pregnancies from ending in abortion. It kept many of our young women from becoming the victims of “date-rape.” Let’s revisit Relationships 101 from the biblical text.
Is sex before marriage wrong? What if you're in love? What about oral sex? Anal sex? Pornography? What if I do/did those things? Will God not let me into Heaven? Get the real, unbiased, biblical answers you can expect from SwordSharp.com.

This was used on our report (or should I say symposium) in our Guidance and Counseling subject. This tackles about crushes, love (different types of love and how to love yourself), courtship (in the Philippines), and marriage (rights and obligations of a wedded couple, the stages of marriage, the common marital problems) and there are also some additional pictures to make the topic easier to understand.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

PRESENTATION ON THE ORIGIN OF
VALENTINE AND THE EFFECT ON THE
YOUTH TODAY
BY REV. ERIC JOEL NII OKLEY
BOTCHWAY
2. Valentine's Day or Saint
Valentine's Day is an occasion
celebrated on February 14 by many
people throughout the world. In the
West, it is the traditional day on which
lovers express their love for each
other by sending Valentine's cards,
presenting flowers, or offering
confectionery.
3. The holiday is named after two among
the numerous Early Christian martyrs
named Valentine. The day became
associated with romantic love in the
circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the
High Middle Ages, when the tradition
of courtly love flourished.
4. The day is most closely associated
with the mutual exchange of love
notes in the form of "valentines."
Modern Valentine symbols include the
heart-shaped outline, doves, and the
figure of the winged Cupid. Since the
19th century, handwritten notes have
largely given way to mass-produced
greeting cards
5. Numerous early Christian martyrs
were named Valentine. Until
1969, the Catholic Church
formally recognized eleven
Valentine's Days.
7. Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb.
m. Romae) and Valentine of Terni
(Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m.
Romae).
8. Valentine of Rome was a priest in
Rome who suffered martyrdom about
AD 269 and was buried on the
Via Flaminia. His relics are at the
Church of Saint Praxed in Rome. and at
Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in
Dublin, Ireland.
9. Valentine of Terni became bishop of
Interamna (modern Terni) about AD
197 and is said to have been killed
during the persecution of Emperor
Aurelian. He is also buried on the Via
Flaminia, but in a different location
than Valentine of Rome. His relics are
at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in
Terni (Basilica di San Valentino).
10. The third saint named Valentine who
was mentioned in early martyrologies
under date of February 14. He was
martyred in Africa with a number of
companions, but nothing more is
known about him.
11. No romantic elements are present in
the original early medieval biographies
of either of these martyrs. By the time
a Saint Valentine became linked to
romance in the fourteenth century,
distinctions between Valentine of
Rome and Valentine of Terni were
utterly lost.
12. In the 1969 revision of the
Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints,
the feastday of Saint Valentine on
February 14 was removed from the
General Roman Calendar and
relegated to particular (local or even
national) calendars for the following
reason:
13. "Though the memorial of Saint
Valentine is ancient, it is left to
particular calendars, since, apart from
his name, nothing is known of Saint
Valentine except that he was buried
on the Via Flaminia on February 14."[12]
14. The feast day is still celebrated in
Balzan (Malta) where relics of the
saint are claimed to be found, and also
throughout the world by
Traditionalist Catholics who follow the
older, pre-Vatican II calendar.
19. To help the Christian
who is single make the
right choice in choosing a
life partner
To know the difference
between LOVE, SEX and
INFATUATION
20. WHAT IS LOVE -EROS
• This is a “need” love based on
physical attraction and fulfillment.
This love is necessary for the
unmarried to succeed , however,
marriage cannot be sustained by
EROS alone. Its out of this word
that we have the English word
Erotic.
• This kind of love is not bad per se.
Prov. 5:18
21. PHILEO
• This is a friendship love based on
reciprocal sharing of time , activity,
the home, hobbies, games and other
objects of common affection.
• Companionship: the Bible says,
Erotic love is about being lovers but
phileo love is about being best
friends. Rom 12:9-10. Prov.17:17
22. • This is honoring, devotion, sharing,
companionship, reciprocity ,
serving and caring.
• This is doing what the other person
won’t do but for love you will do it.
• This is learning to care and be best
friends living your lives together.
23. AGAPE
• This is the super natural love. It is
giving love and it can be unilateral,
in that, one loves even when the
other does not respond.
• It is self-giving and meeting the
need of the other person with the
purpose of helping the other person
to become better or more matured
individuals.
24. • Agape love takes the initiative
of energizing the other two
kinds of love.
• This is God’s love, being kind
hearted , being generous , kind,
forgiving one another, being
tender hearted, working love
25. • This is the love that gives the other
person what they need the most
when they deserve it the least.
• This is the kind of love that makes
a person forgive when he is
wounded.
• He does not bring up the past
• Knows the other person’s history
but refuses to use that against him.
26. • We have always emphasized
the Eros but that alone is not
helpful.
• 50%-75% of first time
marriages ends up in divorce.
• 25% live unhappy and
unfulfilled life.
27. •The foundation of
love is – love
people the same
way God loves
them. Become
best friends.
28. AM I IN LOVE?
IS IT LOVE OR
INFATUATION?
1. Time
• Love grows and all
growth requires time.
Infatuation may come
on suddenly. If it is
genuine love it takes
time but infatuation is
29. 2. KNOWLEDGE
• Love grows out of an
appraisal of all the
uncharacteristic of the
other person,
• infatuation may arise from
an acquaintance with one
or few of these
characteristics.
30. I cannot love someone
without knowing him
genuinely
• character,
• values
• Family
• Career/dreams
• Ambitions
• Strengths / weaknesses
• Knowledge of a person
causes a spontaneous love
for him/her.
31. 3. FOCUS
• Love is making the
other person centeral.
It is outgoing and
results in sharing,
infatuation is self
centered, on one
person only.
32. IS IT LOVE OR INFATUATION?
• 4. SINGULARITY
• Genuine love focuses on one person
only. An infatuated person may be in
love with two or more persons
simultaneously.
• I think I need to make it very clear
over here that infatuation is not
wrong, it is not sinful, it is just this
chemical reaction or feeling we have
when we get attracted to the opposite
sex but we can’t confuse that with
33. • 5. SECURITY
• Love provides a sense of
security and a feeling of trust,
but an infatuated person
tends to have a sense of
blindness.
• Infatuation is based on
wishful thinking rather than
careful consideration, or may
have a sense of insecurity
that is sometimes expressed
34. IS IT LOVE OR
INFATUATION?
• 6. WORK
• An individual in love works for
the other person and for their
mutual benefit. His ambition is
spurred on and he plans and
saves for the future.
• He may day dream but his
dreams are reasonably
attainable.
35. • However, an infatuated person
may lose his ambition, his
appetite, and his interest in
everyday affair.
• He thinks of his own misery,
he often day dreams but his
dreams are sometimes limited
to the attainable. At times his
dreams become a subtitled
reality.
36. • 7. PROBLEM SOLVING
• A couple in love face problems
frankly and attempt to solve them.
• Barriers are approached
intelligently and are removed or
circumvented.
• In infatuation, problems tend to
be disregarded or glossed over.
What will you do if your parents
refuse to have you marry?
37. • 8. DISTANCE
• Love tends to be constant;
infatuation often varies
with distance between the
couple.
38. IS IT LOVE OR INFATUATION?
9. PHYSICAL ATTRACTION &
INVOLVEMENT
• In love, physical attraction is
relatively a smaller part of the total
relations.
• Any physical contact tends to have
meaning, as well as be a pleasurable
experience.
• In infatuation, physical contact tends
to be an end in itself. It represents
only the pleasurable experience
39. • The moment your physical
involvement move beyond your
leading from God, you cloud your
ability to hear from God in the
relationship.
• Each step in the relationship is
bound in a process of
communicating a deeper and
deeper commitment to one another,
however infatuation is just the
opposite.
40. 10. AFFECTION
• In love, an expression of affection tends
to come relatively late in the couples
relationship.
• In infatuation it may come earlier,
sometimes from the very beginning. sex
at first date. II. Sam: 13:1ff
• Tamar and her step brother Ammon.
• His love turned to hatred and he hated
her even more than he had loved her,
Get out of here! He snarled at her. Verse
1,2 and 15
41. IS IT LOVE OR
INFATUATION?
• 11. STABILITY
• Love tends to endure,
infatuation may change
suddenly or unpredictably.
42. DELAYED
GRATIFICATION
• A couple in love are not
indifferent to the effects of the
postponement of their wedding,
but they do not prolong their
period of postponement unless
they find it wiser to wait for a
reasonable time;
43. • they do not feel an almost
irresistible drive towards haste
but in contrast infatuation
couple tend to feel an urge
towards getting married,
postponement is intolerable and
deprivation rather than
preparation.
• When you love somebody you
can wait, you will not be driven
44. • Remember Jacob and Rachel,
he waited for 7 years and
after he was given Leah he
served 7 more years and the
bible says that it seemed to
him but for a few days.
Genesis 29:15-21
