blogging from class #5

how not to give a presentation:

…trail off into personal life story
…face the screen and read facts from a book
…show complex charts and lament that it didn’t turn out like you wanted

definition of a little boy…

running noise with dirt on it

when technology fails…

…you can still piece together a solution. For example, my Wednesday night class is a video conference feed from Houston campus. This means there is a class in Houston and a class in Dallas, and they are linked via a video feed that is projected in both places. The prof alternates teaching from each location. It is actually really neat!

Last night the prof showed a video, which was supposed to be projected simultanesouly in Houston and Dallas. We, in Dallas, did not get the direct feed, so here was the solution (worked, but the quality was…well…lacking):

 

VHS player sends feed to projector > projector projects image on screen (Houston) > video camera picks up video playing on screen > digital signal sent to Dallas > projector projects feed from camera > we watch video on screen

topic: Reformed view of sanctification…how much is it God and how much is it man??

it is interesting to observe different personalities in class. tonight I am sitting next to a guy who does not want to engage in the class discussion, but wants to comment under his breath (read: comment to jonathan) about everything that is being said.

i don’t find this helpful!

UPDATE

Sanctification, as it is generally used, refers to the time in the Christian life after salvation but prior to death. This is a time of “spiritual growth” or “maturing spiritually” or “being refined” or “becoming holy,” and is usually referred to as a process. More technically, the term means to set apart as sacred or holy.

So, after salvation, there is a process of becoming more like Christ and there are various traditions who believe there to be different marks or milestones during the process. The various marks correspond, in general, to how much this process is carried along by God and how much man plays a part. It is some great stuff to wrestle with, trying to hold firmly to what the Bible teaches about this period in the life of a Believer, and then use this to try to explain what we experience.
