The document discusses what the Bible says about roots. It references passages from Proverbs, Ephesians, and Colossians about being rooted in righteousness and in love through faith in Christ.

It cautions that we should be conformed to the image of Christ rather than other people. It also references a passage from Isaiah about being called oaks of righteousness and a passage from Mark about a withered fig tree to illustrate the importance of proper roots.
LOSS IS GAIN
Paul considers all things he once valued as loss compared to knowing Christ. He suffered the loss of all things in order to gain Christ. Paul counted them as rubbish so that he could gain Christ. While cultural preferences do not need to be abandoned, a believer's identity and status come from being a son or daughter of God, not from cultural identifications. Loss is gain for those who know Christ.

8th April 2017 - The origins of Easter
The origins of the term "Easter" are unclear, as some theories suggest it comes from pagan spring festivals celebrating fertility goddesses like Eastre, though evidence for these goddesses is sparse. Christians celebrate Easter as commemorating Jesus' resurrection on the third day after his crucifixion, the most important event in Christianity. While some traditions like egg hunts derive from pagan spring rituals, the focus of Easter should be on Christ's resurrection and its significance for believers. Debate exists around celebrating Easter versus Resurrection Sunday and whether Christian families should participate in secular traditions, but the Bible emphasizes remembering Christ's resurrection as something to be celebrated daily, not just once a year on Easter.
Week 1 (Hope) of The Heart Has a Home in the Living Room at East Petersburg M...
In our most popular stories, people are always – either physically or metaphorically – wondering from home, coming back home or feeling at home. A homecoming is the deployed soldier's nightly dream, the team’s big day, and the prodigal’s greatest act of courage. And this theme of “home” runs deeply throughout the Scriptures, map out out the path of the human heart as we start at home, wander in exile, then finally commence our return home. Home. Exile. Return. This is the way of the human heart in the biblical narrative. Have you ever noticed that, when compared to the other Gospels, the Gospel of John gets so little attention during the Christmas Season? John, known as the ‘Beloved Apostle,’ does not begin his telling of the life of Jesus with a birth narrative, a documentation of His lineage or anything that resembles a “hark the herald angels sing” moment.
There are few Christmas plays that attempt to bring the cosmic metaphors of John 1 to the stage; Matthew, Mark, and Luke get top billing as children dress up in the shepherds’ robes, angels’ gowns, and cow costumes, all to reenact the vivid scenes of the nativity. Instead, John brings his Christmas story with what amounts to a retelling of Genesis!

Truth about CHRISTMAS
The document summarizes the pagan origins of many modern Christmas traditions and argues that Christmas was not originally a Christian holiday. It notes that December 25th was chosen, not because of Jesus' birthdate, but to coincide with pre-existing pagan winter solstice festivals like Saturnalia. Many Christmas customs like Christmas trees, mistletoe, gift-giving originated from traditions associated with pagan gods like Saturn, Tammuz and Nimrod. The Bible warns against adopting pagan practices and teaches that Jesus was likely born in fall, not winter.
Prophecy
The document discusses various views about the end times, prophecies, and the return of Christ. It cautions against those who claim to know exact details of prophecies and set dates, as the biblical standard for prophets is to be 100% correct. It notes many past failed predictions and commercial motives of some prophets. While some signs could point to the last days unfolding, the document advocates focusing on Jesus' own words about his return and comparing world events to biblical prophecies, rather than interpretations of cryptic symbols.
Eckstein, the origin of Christmas
The document discusses the origins of Christmas and how it was not celebrated by early Christians but was adopted from pagan winter solstice festivals. It describes how the Roman Catholic Church, under Constantine, incorporated pagan rituals and renamed pagan gods to make Christianity appealing to pagans. As a result, December 25th was designated as Christmas to replace pagan solstice celebrations like Saturnalia. After the Reformation, Protestants opposed Christmas as it was seen as a Catholic tradition, and it was banned in parts of America until the 1800s when it was promoted more for commercial purposes. The document concludes that there is no biblical basis for celebrating Christmas and it originated from pagan traditions, not Christian teachings.

Christmas truth
This document discusses the origins and history of Christmas celebrations. It notes that while Christmas is commonly celebrated on December 25th, the actual date of Jesus' birth is unknown and not recorded in the Bible.

The document examines the discrepancies between Christmas dates celebrated in different Christian traditions and questions how closely modern Christmas traditions reflect biblical teachings.
Critique of russell williams
This document provides a critique of views expressed about the case of Kim Davis. It argues:
1) Kim Davis did have time to quit her job as county clerk if she did not want to issue same-sex marriage licenses, citing the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as an example.
2) Her previous marriages undermine claims that this is about upholding the sanctity of marriage, and people should not be prevented from standing up for God due to past errors if they have repented.
3) There is no proof this is just an attempt to "cash in" on her beliefs, and the critique itself relies more on personal opinions than biblical references. Christians should

Leaving Christmas
The author ceased observing Christmas after studying the Bible and finding that Christmas is not biblically supported or commanded. The holiday has pagan origins, as many of its customs like the Christmas tree, gift giving, and timing of December 25th originated from pagan festivals like Saturnalia that celebrated pagan gods.

Observing a holiday with no biblical basis means going beyond what Scripture teaches.
Paul's One Thing

The document encourages focusing on relational intimacy with Christ over religious practices and removing hindrances to spiritual growth like old ways of thinking.

The celebration of Christmas is meant to recognize God's incredible gift of love in sending his Son to save mankind. However, today Christmas has become more commercial than religious for many.

During Lupercalia, goats and dogs were sacrificed and their skins were used to make loincloths and whips. Men would then run through the streets whipping women with the bloody whips to promote fertility. Over time, Christianity replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine's Day on February 14th, though the origins of the saint are unclear. Modern Valentine's Day traditions focus more on love and romance rather than the animal sacrifices and whipping of Lupercalia.
Polish Christmas made by Kinga Matusik
In Poland, Christmas Eve is the most solemn evening of the year with rich liturgies. Traditionally, families break opłatek wafers and share a meal when the first star appears in the sky, leaving an empty space at the table to remember absent loved ones. After supper, people sing carols and participate in customs that vary by region, such as pulling the tablecloth from under a straw or giving leftovers to animals believed to speak at midnight. Midnight Mass commemorates the shepherds' visit to Bethlehem.
Halloween history
The document discusses the pagan origins of Halloween traditions. It states that Halloween was originally a pagan festival called Samhain celebrated by druids to honor the lord of the dead. They would make sacrifices by burning crops, animals, and people in bonfires. People would wear animal skin costumes and perform divination rituals to ward off evil spirits. When the Catholic church moved All Saints Day to November 1st, the evening before became known as All Hallows Eve, later shortened to Halloween. However, the intended Christianization of the pagan traditions failed, and Halloween continues to be a celebration of pagan beliefs focused on death and the occult rather than Jesus Christ.

Overview of the Christian Liturgical Calendar/Liturgical Year, in the context of the worship ministry of Bangsar Lutheran Church, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Hallowe’en : Faith and Fun
Hallowe'en originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter. The Celts believed spirits roamed the land on this night and people wore costumes to avoid being recognized. The traditions of carving jack-o-lanterns and trick-or-treating are descended from Celtic customs. When Irish immigrants arrived in America, they began carving pumpkins instead of turnips into lanterns. Today, Hallowe'en celebrates both the religious All Saints' and All Souls' days as well as secular customs involving costumes, decorations, and sweets.
Paul in Athens and Interreligious Communication
Looks at Acts 17 and the story of Paul speaking at the Areopagus, The focus is on contetualization of the Gospel message, and effective interreligious communication.
Lent and Easter Traditions in Poland
Lent and Easter traditions in Poland include several celebrations:
- Fat Thursday and Shrove Tuesday mark the end of carnival before Lent, when Poles eat doughnuts and herrings.
- Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' entry to Jerusalem, with palms blessed in church believed to have special properties.
- Holy Week includes services on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday, as well as reenactments of Jesus' Passion.
- On Holy Saturday, people bring baskets of symbolic foods like bread, eggs and horseradish to church for blessing.
- After Easter Mass, families enjoy the blessed foods and children receive gifts, with Wet Monday involving boys sprinkling girls with water for luck.
Karen Galbraith Valentine
Valentine's Day has origins in both Christian and Roman traditions. One legend describes St. Valentine as a priest in the 3rd century who secretly married couples despite an Emperor's ban. When discovered, Valentine was put to death. Another legend says Valentine fell in love with his jailor's daughter while imprisoned and wrote her a farewell letter signed "from your Valentine". The Christian church may have chosen mid-February for Valentine's feast day to replace the pagan Roman Lupercalia fertility festival held around the same time. Today, Valentine's Day is celebrated with the exchanging of gifts between loved ones in remembrance of St. Valentine.

Proposal: The Ark Project and The BEEP Inc
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

- 5. Lupercalia
- 6. Pope Gelasius In 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius changed Lupercalia from February 15th to February 14th and selected St. Valentine as the new patron saint of lovers in an attempt to move away from the pagan celebration of fertility.
- 7. Who is St. Valentine? Roman: Lupercus, the Hunter Greek: Pan Semites: Called Pan “Baul” or “Baal” Baal was another name for Nimrod Nimrod (Genesis 10: 9) “He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” Nimrod’s other name: “Sanctuc” or “Santa”, meaning “Saint”
- 8. Why Are Hearts Associated With Valentine’s Day? Pagan Romans acquired the symbol of the heart from the Babylonians. In the Babylonian tongue the word for heart was "bal“ (Strong's Concordance Number H1168). The heart - bal - was merely a symbol of Nimrod the Baal - or Lord of the Babylonians!
