This document provides a summary of key points about knowing God:
1. While humans can never fully comprehend God, we can know Him partially through His self-revelation. Our knowledge of God comes from both an innate, general awareness, as well as through consciously studying God's revelations.
2. God is best described as a pure, infinite Spirit with perfect attributes. He is a personal being who can relate to humans, not an impersonal force.
3. The Bible does not define God but comes closest when describing Him as a Spirit. As Spirit, God has no physical form but is intelligent and moral in nature.
4. God's being and attributes are one - He is perfectly
Who do we trust the most, God or man? God's plan for us is simple and it includes, peace, joy, happiness, freedom, prosperity and life. Man's plan has none of those and if you do find any of those in this world, it will only be for a short period of time.
This is the first part of a series we are doing about faith development at Cafechurch Melbourne (www.cafechurch.org), largely based on John J Shea's book "Finding God Again." We want to be adults, with fully functional adult faith, but how do we go about it? This session is about the God of the superego with which we start our journey. These images of God aren't wrong exactly, but they become increasingly inadequate, and as we develop, we need to develop more adequate notions of God.
The Spiritual Awakening experienced by John Wesley on May 24, 1738 transformed his life and is at the core of the United Methodist theology. The experience, however, is not a one of a kind miracle known only to saints and cloistered monks, but is available to all who avail themselves of God's grace.

In this book, I will share my personal experiences and journey with you en route to taking an objective, dispassionate look at religion and spirituality. I’ll explore the contradictions inherent in the world’s major religions, and then assess the alternatives, from philosophy to myth, from astral travel to sacred geometry.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)
Exactly how are we be led by the Holy Spirit?
Exactly how does the Holy Spirit communicate to all of us in this life?
If the Bible calls the Holy Spirit our Guide and Teacher in this life, then this means He will attempt to communicate to all of us from time to time.
Otherwise we will never be able to pick up from Him exactly what He is trying to teach us or tell us to do.
The very first thing we need to know if we want to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit is that
We can develop a direct personal relationship with Him
Just like you already have with God and Jesus.
Here are two key verses from the apostle Paul telling us that we are allowed to have direct communication and direct fellowship with the Holy Spirit Himself:
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (2 Corinthians 13:14)
“Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit …” (Phillippians 2:1)

Jesus was sure, without me you can do nothingGLENN PEASE
This is a study of Jesus being sure in saying, without me you can do nothing. Nothing that matters for eternity can be achieved without Jesus involved.
IT is to be presumed that a person will ex-
press himself. Expression characterizes
personality. If God is a person, the uni-
verse may be called an expression of God.
The universe is, therefore, an intimation of
certain truths about God. If a work suggests
the character of the worker, it is not too much
to call the universe a revelation of God. If
space is not a revelation of Him — and it may
be — everything in space is. * * The heavens de-
clare the glory of God and the firmament
showeth his handiwork." The natural sug-
gests the supernatural. Nature suggests God.
A re-interpretation of the Apostle John's First Letter to the early Christians using open and inclusive spiritual language (ie 'non-religious' language) to make it more accessible to people who have been 'turned off' by the doctrines, dogmas and practices of the church.

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.
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.

DIARIO DE UNA JOVEN ASESINA1
por el Hermano Pablo
Era su librito de apuntes diarios, apuntes que iba haciendo, cada día, una joven de catorce años de
edad. ¿Qué cosas podría escribir en ese diario? Cosas juveniles: impresiones de muchachos,
actividades de colegio, paseos, fiestas.
Pero un día, justamente el primero de enero, la joven escribió: «Querido diario: Es principio de año,
y ya no aguanto más. Tengo que quitarme de encima una carga que ya no puedo llevar. Yo maté a
mi hermanita.»
El diario sigue narrando: «Fui hasta su cuarto y le dije que la quería mucho. Cubrí, entonces, su
boca, y la sofoqué. Tú, mi querido diario, eres a quien primero le cuento. Gracias. Ahora me siento
mejor.»
Ya hacía cinco meses que esta adolescente había matado a su hermanita de cuatro años de edad.
Cuando hallaron el cuerpo de la chiquita, el médico forense determinó que era «muerte por asfixia
traumática». La investigación no produjo ningún resultado. Pero sucedió que los padres de la hija
mayor descubrieron su diario.
Por más que queramos callar la voz de nuestra conciencia, no podemos. Tarde o temprano su grito
se oirá.
¿Qué está pasando en los hogares, en las familias, en los adolescentes? Esta joven no carecía de
nada. Tenía buenos padres, buena casa, buen colegio, buenos amigos, buena ropa, buen calzado,
buenas cosas. ¿Por qué, de un modo sorpresivo y brutal, mató a su hermanita?
En parte tiene que ver con la violencia que los adolescentes ven en la televisión, la cual se va
acumulando en su psiquis. Cuando ésta se llena a más no poder, el adolescente no tarda en poner
en práctica más de alguna de esas cosas.
Tampoco se descarta la posibilidad de los contactos con sectas extrañas. Lo que padres
incautamente podrán llamar «chifladuras de adolescentes» puede que sean relaciones, incluso
satánicas, cosa que está más extendida de lo que parece.
La fuerza moral más potente del mundo está en Jesucristo. Si nosotros, como padres,
descuidamos nuestra propia vida espiritual, con eso dirigimos a nuestros hijos por el camino de la
perdición.
Hagamos de Cristo el Señor de nuestra vida. Tanto nosotros como nuestros hijos necesitamos ese
poder. Sólo Cristo nos pone a salvo de toda fuerza maligna. Él desea ser nuestro Señor.
Coronémoslo Rey de nuestra vida hoy mismo.

The Knowledge of God
(Biblical Training.org)
The possibility of knowing God has been denied on several grounds. But while it is true that man
can never fully comprehend God, it does not follow that he can have no knowledge of Him at all. He
can know Him only in part, but nevertheless with a knowledge which is real and true. This is
possible because God has revealed Himself. Left to his own resources, man would never have
been able to discover nor to know Him.Our knowledge of God is twofold. Man has an inborn
knowledge of God. This does not merely mean that, in virtue of his creation in the image of God, he
has a natural capacity to know God. Neither does it imply that man at birth brings a certain
knowledge of God with him into the world. It simply means that under normal conditions a certain
knowledge of God naturally develops in man. This knowledge is, of course, of a very general
nature.
But in addition to this inborn knowledge of God man also acquires knowledge of Him by learning
from God's general and special revelation. This is not obtained without efforts on man's part, but is
the result of his conscious and sustained pursuit of knowledge. While this knowledge is possible
only because man is born with the capacity to know God, it carries him far beyond the limits of the
inborn knowledge of God.
While it is not possible to define God, it is possible to give a general description of His being. It is
perhaps best to describe Him as a pure Spirit of infinite perfections. The description involves the
following elements:
a. God is a pure Spirit. The Bible contains no definition of God. The nearest approach to it is found
in the words of Jesus to the Samaritan woman, "God is spirit." This means that He is essentially
spirit, and that all the qualities which belong to the perfect idea of spirit are necessarily found in
Him. The fact that He is pure spirit excludes the idea that He has a body of some kind and is in any
way visible to the physical eye. b. God is personal. The fact that God is spirit also involves His
personality. A spirit is an intelligent and moral being, and when we ascribe personality to God, we
mean exactly that He is a reasonable Being, capable of determining the course of His life. At
present many deny the personality of God and simply conceive of Him as an impersonal force or
power. However, the God of the Bible is certainly a personal God, a God with whom men can
converse, whom they can trust, who enters into their experiences, who helps them in their
difficulties, and who fills their hearts with joy and gladness. Moreover, He revealed Himself in a
personal form in Jesus Christ.
c. God is infinitely perfect. God is distinguished from all His creatures by infinite perfection. His
being and virtues are free from all limitations and imperfections. He is not only boundless and
limitless, but also stands out above all His creatures in moral perfection and in glorious majesty.
The children of Israel sang of the greatness of God after they passed through the Red Sea: "Who is
like unto Thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders?" Ex. 15:11. Some philosophers of the present day speak of God as "finite,
developing, struggling, suffering, sharing with man his defeats and victory."
d. God and His perfections are one. Simplicity is one of the fundamental characteristics of God. This
means that He is not composed of different parts, and also that His being and attributes are one. It
may be said that God's perfections are God Himself as He has revealed Himself to man. They are
simply so many manifestations of the divine Being. Hence the Bible says that God is truth, life, light,
love, righteousness, and so on.
