What Are You Afraid Of?

August 6, 2009 in Bible with 6 Comments

FearTime magazine published 10 top fears in 2007, they included flying, being alone and death, amongst others.

I’m not afraid of any of those things.

I’m afraid of getting the gospel wrong.

In the first chapter of Galatians, Paul slams the Galatians for turning to a different gospel (Gal 1:6). In most of his other letters, Paul starts off by thanking God for the church (Eph 1, 1 Cor,  Phil 1). But in Galatians, he gets straight to the point, and he makes it a number of times throughout the book. He finishes off this part of the letter by saying:

If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

Galatians 1:9

It is a full on message that Paul is preaching.

Getting the Word of God wrong is something that we all must avoid! We must strive in our teaching to be sound in doctrine and make sure that what we teach is the truth, so that as many as possible can come into a relationship with Christ.

Public vs Private #6 | Freedom

August 4, 2009 in Education with 7 Comments

BibleIn a Christian private school, a teacher will have significant religious freedom.

I recently received a Facebook message from somebody who has recently graduated as a teacher and is in her first year of teaching (Hey Liz), and she mentioned that she has the joy of reading the Bible to her students each and every morning. She also said that they even go home and ask there parents to read the Bible to them!

And it’s not like her students are all Christians, she estimated that around 90% are from non-Christian homes!

How exciting is that!

I must say that I do not have a public school teachers experience to draw from, but in my experience, this would never happen at a public school.

The freedom that Christians would have at private schools is certainly an exciting prospect as a pre-service teacher…

Download YouTube Videos

August 3, 2009 in Technology with 4 Comments

UPDATE: It’s not legit to download YouTube Videos. View post explaining here.

Have you ever seen a video on YouTube, and wished that you could download it onto your computer?

If this is you, then you should visit keepvid.com!

keepvid.com is a website that allows you to easily download YouTube videos to your computer as a .flv or .mp4 file (.mp4 is best).

Video Tape

Once you have downloaded the video file, you can then use it where ever you like (please don’t use it for profit). I have had success recently using this website to download video’s to use in presentations. This saves me from switching between a browser and the presentation, as well as allowing me to play YouTube videos without an internet connection.

If you save the link below as a bookmark, then whilst viewing a YouTube video at the YouTube site, you can immediately download it by clicking on that bookmark.

javascript:document.location=’http://keepvid.com/?url=’+escape(window.location);

So go and try it out at keepvid.com, download a YouTube video.
