Islam is a faith having up to 1.6 Billion adherents worldwide. It is a religion partially understood, but that has confusing and concerning areas of belief and practice that need clarification in people's minds. This slide show is heavily documented and provides answers to some important areas on the minds of people outside of Islam.
This session discusses the nature of the human mind and brain, and explores the nature of the soul as it relates to the renewal of the mind.
The outcomes of cultivating the carnal side of the mind are explored, along with the outcomes of cultivating the spiritual mind. The result is either a reprobate mind or a renewed mind, and the attendant blessings or pangs associated with each.
The study concludes with specifics on exactly how to develop a renewed mind of power and peace, and the results of investing in the spiritual disciplines of study and meditation.
Ironically, the nature of discipleship is sometimes misunderstood. This misunderstanding comes primarily due to the overemphasis or under-emphasis of biblical teachings, and not usually the complete ignorance of them.
In this session, we learn what Christian discipleship is, how the Bible describes each aspect of it, and common mistakes in disciplemaking that lead to problems in life and stunted spiritual growth.
The Bible calls Christians to be spiritually alert and vigilant in order that Satan might not outwit us. The Apostle Paul pointed out that "we are not unaware of his schemes" (2 Cor 2:11).
Living in a world in steep spiritual decline, Christians face an on-going and cosmic struggle against the archenemy of our souls. Our response must be to understand the signs of the times and to know what to do (1 Chron. 12:32).
Many academic job seekers fail to cast a wide enough net when seeking academic positions, largely because they don't fully understand the types of positions available. One of the great challenges of academic administrators is to find candidates for teaching positions that are a good fit for their particular institutions. This problem is made more complex when would-be professors apply to schools without fully appreciating the unique differences and purposes embodied by those institutions. This session helps position-seekers understand the nuances and needs of the major types of educational institutions (divinity schools, seminaries, Bible colleges, Bible institutes, and liberal arts colleges and universities) so the job candidate can save themselves and search committees time and energy, while increasing the possibility of a successful position search. Additional attention will be given to identifying best practice search strategies and, as a special bonus, attendees will gain temporary access to a unique tool developed by the presenter to help them in their job search.

If God is anything, God is loving. Love is the nature of God. It is His essence. His loving nature is inseparable from him, as He shows love to both His Children and to enemies of the Cross-- extending His great love and favor to even those who currently reject Him. Learn more about this great love from this great God, the God of the Holy Bible. Part of a multi-session series by Dr. Freddy Cardoza, author of the Book/DVD series, "Beyond Belief" by LifeWay publishers. Hear the podcast at www.fredtalks.libsyn.com.
The Holy Bible says that God is Holy. That means, among other things, that God is both transcendent (far above us) and immanent (with us). In these two concepts we learn much about who God is and what He is like. This lesson is part of a multi-sessions series on the Character of God from my book "Beyond Belief" published by LifeWay Publishers, www.lifeway.com. (c) 2015. Freddy Cardoza.
