Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

Where Did The Denominations Come From? session 4truthforsaints
This is session 4 of a class I presented regarding the history of denominations. This session pertains to the German Reformation and the Swiss Reformation - along with the Anabaptist influence.
These slides were part of a Webinar introducing an online course, offered by ITTI, certified by PESI for six CEUs, and taught by me entitled, "Civilian Clinicians Counseling Military Veterans." For more information or to enroll in this course go to: https://traumaonline.net/
What does it mean "taking the shield of faith"? Why does a Christian require a "shield"? What is faith? Is all faith the same? How does faith protect? Do you know how to use the "shield of faith"?
More is written about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ than of any other person in history. Why is that? What did He accomplish by dying on the cross? Why was His resurrection necessary? Is there strong attestation to Christ's resurrection? Must we believe He is alive today? How does the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth effect you?
All four Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John -- record the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into the city of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Nisan 10. This study is an exposition of John 12:12-19 and answers the question: "What's most important about Palm Sunday?"
What does "having your feet shod with the gospel of peace" mean? How does a Christian prepare their feet? Why is comparing the armor of God to the Roman soldier inappropriate? To what is this metaphor more likely referring?
What is the Christian's "Breastplate of Righteousness" described in Ephesians 6? We are often told the believer's armor is to be compared to that of a Roman soldier. Is this accurate? Study this lesson, and if possible, listen on FaceBook or YouTube by typing my name and the title or text of this study.
The first piece mentioned in the panoply of the "armor of God" for the Christian is "the belt of truth." But, what is truth? Why is it listed first? Why is it vital and what does it protect? Jesus said to Pilate, "To this end was I born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth." (18:37)
The world, the flesh and the devil are hostile to true faith in God because all three are at enmity with God, hate Jesus (who is God come in flesh), and therefore hate those whom Christ has chosen out of this world. What hope is there for Christians facing such enemies? How can we "stand against the evil of the day"?
What is the Bible all about? What is its purpose? How can we get the most out of studying the Bible?
This lesson is part of a series of studies entitle, "Living the Word" taught at the Lighthouse Freedom Center. These slides will help you if you're following us online on Sunday at 8:45.
In many ways Jacob is a picture of every person. We were all by nature selfish, deceitful, "graspers". Jacob is a type of our human carnal nature. But, Jacob changed! One night he wrestled with the Lord and begged for a blessing. His blessing came in the form of a changed character, reflected in his new name: Israel. Israel is a picture of a person changed by God, someone with whom the Spirit of God dwells.
Who was Uzziah? Why did Isaiah “see the Lord when Uzziah died”? Who is your Uzziah? Who are the seraphim? What is their function? What did Isaiah see and hear them doing? What effect did their worship have on the Temple and on the Prophet Isaiah? How will you respond upon observing holy angels worshipping “the Lord high and lifted up”? Why does Isaiah confess, “I am a man of unclean lips and dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips”? Would you confess the same? Why? Did Isaiah actually see the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach? (Jn. 12:37-41) Have you actually seen Him? How? (Jn. 1:9,14) How has “beholding Him” changed you? (2 Cor. 3:18; 1 Jn. 3:2)
God's sovereignty is evident in every aspect of life. Redemption is the overarching purpose of divine sovereignty. Genesis 31 reveals God's hand and heart in Jacob's relationship with Laban, a wiley, manipulative uncle, father-in-law, employer. This chapter is filled with lots of practical, relevant lessons in God's redemption for all of us.
What prevents the non-believing world from truly knowing who Jesus is? (Jn. 1:10-12; 2 Cor. 2:14) Why didn’t Pilate know what Truth was when the One who is Truth was standing only a few feet from him? (John 18:33-38) Why didn’t the disciples understand who Christ was though they had spent three solid years with Him? Why didn’t the disciples on the Emmaus Road know who Jesus was though He had already risen from the dead and reports of His resurrection had been announced to His disciples? (Luke 24:13-35)
What prevents world unity? Why have the world’s best of intentions and brightest of minds failed, abysmally, and repeatedly to achieve world unity and peace? What are common causes for disunity and conflict among Christians? How can church conflict strengthen and improve a congregation? When is church conflict destructive? What does James say is a common cause for conflict among Christians? (Jas. 4:1) What four steps does James give believers for conflict resolution? (Jas. 4:1-3; 4-6; 7-10; 11-12)
Genesis 30 describes how God uses circumstances and people in our lives to mold us and mature us. Often, God uses conflict. Certainly, this was the case for Jacob and his family. Jacob was a deceiver, a liar and a manipulator. God used his uncle Laban, who was also a deceiver, liar and manipulator to provoke change in Jacob. Conflict between two sisters, Rachel and Leah, Jacob's wives, Leah and Rachel, mirrored his relationship with his brother, Esau. God wasn't just working in the heart of Jacob. He was using the family dynamics to mold and mature each member of this family. He does the same with us today.
How is COVID-19 different from previous pandemics in history? How does the Coronavirus compare to future pestilences prophesied in the Bible? Do you think God sent the Coronavirus as a harbinger of future pandemics? If so, what should be learn about God and ourselves during COVID-19? As Christians how should we respond to pandemics? Do you have peace and hope? Why? How is your life, currently, giving others, especially non-Christians, cause to ask you for “an answer (lit. the reason) for the hope that lies in you”? (1 Peter 3:15)
God teaches each of us using sometimes intensely painful circumstances to inculcate profound and powerful lessons. Such was the case with Jacob, the deceiver, who spent 20 years with his uncle Laban being on the receiving end of deceitfulness. Everyone, Jacob and Laban, Leah and Rachel, and Zilpah and Bilhah learn life's lessons in God's classroom, known as Genesis 29.
How has COVID-19 changed you? Has the Coronavirus in any way changed your view of yourself, of the world, and of God? If so, have these changes been positive? Explain. As much as we may value science and medicine, what inherent limitations prevent us from basing our lives on them? (2 Timothy 6:19-21) How did each of the plagues defeat a god in Egypt? (Exodus 7-12) How do you think God, the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ, is challenging the gods of our world today through COVID-19? (1 Samuel 17:47; 2 Chronicles 20:15-16; Zechariah 4:6)

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
