Pitsula's history also takes student culture into account. He argues that the youth of the sixties created the "citizen student" who participates fully in the life of the university - and helped make the University of Regina.
Those who have discovered and cultivate their imaginations explore endless galaxies, unending dimensions and timeless travels within their conscious awareness. These are those who have been chosen by the great HU to ride the waves of Light and Sound, aiding in the healing of His lower worlds of creation. Lord Region has passed all the tests. He has learned all the disciplines. He is ready to do battle with and ensnare the one that causes all the worlds to tremble. But, this servant of the God, Kal, is elusive and cunning. His intellect is genius. In this book is a tantalizing climax to a trilogy wherein Lord Region learns more about himself than even he wants to know. Your inner senses will come alive as you live this final episode. Within your mind's eye you will question, "Does this tale, in fact, actually relate to these times of terrorists and corrupted ethical concepts? Or is there an even deeper and greater meaning hidden in the wellspring of the telling?"
As leadership and the Body of Christ ventures into outward focused ministries and develop inward ministerial structures to hold the impending harvest, we find a deficit in consistent faithfulness and service from pure hearts in leaders, as well as congregants. There is a vacuum of heart-based leadership development where we examine the motives and intents of the heart in order to labor in purity with one another that all men see the love of God as a bright light shining in darkness. True leadership is the salt of the earth and the light of the world. A leader's unrestrained service exemplifies the magnitude of God's love for man. Christ gave his all for us all, in order to show us all...God's heart. The Light of the servanthood of Christ must be seen by all men in order to build individual lives. It is time for leaders to reexamine themselves and become strengthened their resolve to serve the Lord without restraint, and thereby give our lives fully to Kingdom purposes.
Luke wrote this Gospel so "that you [Theophilus] may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught [i.e., catechesis]" (1:4). It proceeds with a barrage of questions. The first comes from Zechariah: "How shall I know?" (1:18). This is a question of knowledge. The angel Gabriel answers that we shall know by the word of God (1:19). The second comes from Mary: "How will this be?" (1:34). This is a question of agency, of how the Son of God can become human. Gabriel answers that it will be by the power of God (1:35). The third comes from Elizabeth: "Why me?" (1:43). Why should the gospel of Jesus Christ come to her? Mary answers that it has to do with God's choice, election, mercy, and salvation (1:47-55). The fourth has to do with John: "What then will this child be?" (1:66). Zechariah answers that he will be a prophet (1:76-79). John is not the Christ, but he will go before the Christ. Thus begins the catechism according to Luke, a series of questions in order that we may have certainty concerning the things we have been taught.
This collection presents a representative sample of the writings of three of the six Jesuits who were slain in El Salvador on November 16, 1989. Although little known in the United States, these men were significant scholars who possessed an original conception of the university. They affirmed in difficult circumstances, the pursuit and teaching of truth as a collaborative, collegial process that transcends international boundaries.
A premier New Testament scholar explores how Jesus' trial and execution are portrayed in the New Testament and how that portrayal has affected biblical studies, Christian theology, and Jewish-Christian relations through history. Tomson has written an accessible, responsible analysis of the biblical accounts of Jesus' death, demonstrating how, through compounded misunderstandings, they contributed to anti-Jewish sentiment in the early church and later history. Tomson's question of how Jesus is to be understood in his first-century Judean context is a critical one not only for biblical scholars, but for anyone concerned about human rights and interreligious dialogue today.
