Lestor Roloff Observation

Improved Essays
Introduction to Speaker Lestor Roloff is the video that I chose to watch for the first observation paper. This man Lestor Roloff is a very interesting character and the recording that was done from his church (assuming because of his confidence) seems to be in the early 90 's. The quality of the video was decent and the church was up with modern technology at the time based on the observation of the overhead that was being used. Mr. Roloff was a very well dress man who had a matching suit on. He stood behind a huge wood pulpit that I will see John McAurther stand behind. It was a very beautiful picture with the young children in the back. The glasses that Mr. Roloff wore seemed to be a 50 's style and they are still a style of today. Overall appearance of Mr. Roloff was sharp and outstanding. His gestures and vocal production is another feature about Mr. Roloff that grabs your attention. He has a very serious look on his face and when he takes his glasses off, he is making a point. He uses his voice as a musical instrument by the way that he raises the velocity and pitch of his voice when he is mentioning anything about God. He does give credit to God and he draws …show more content…
The first is the confidence level I saw this man preach. He was not afraid to call the world out for what it was. I need not to be afraid of certain topics that God will want me to preach in the near future. I am reminded that people are hungry for the Word of God and just giving them a little bit was getting people saved. I am really confused now after seeing this man. I just witness a man preach about God and never open His Bible and people were coming to the front. So on that note, I close the paper with more confidence to trust God to do His will no matter how I present the Word of God. If my heart is right and I am truly seeking God. Then God will save others through the foolishness of my

    Rhetorical Analysis of Liberals Think that Only Liberals Can Boycott and Protest Ryan T. Anderson, a member of The Heritage Foundation, wrote an article regarding the hypocrisy of liberals and how religious freedom is under attack. The article, “Liberals Think that Only Liberals Can Boycott and Protest” begins with stereotypes and ad hominem by generalizing and attacking a group of people. He suggests that all liberals do not have standards. He uses a false analogy and emotional fallacies to support his claims. Anderson’s article has little evidence to support its claims and attempts to use an ethos appeal by arguing the United States’ religious freedoms are under attack by liberals and companies.…

    A speech that influenced me greatly was when a guest evangelist, Brother Steve Proctor, shared a message on a Tuesday evening in early October. We were having a revival at New Hope General Baptist Church in Silva where I attend church. At first, there was nothing special about the service. It was similar to most sermons I had listened to in the five years of my existence. Then, the strangest thing happened.…

    Substance Although my opening comment may not belong in this category, James Merritt, in my opinion, was the most personable of all the speakers. As the listener, Merritt was not only personable, but very easy to understand. In fact, Merritt came across as an average Joe, who was just trying to make a difference in the lives of the audience. The overall theme of Merritt’s message centered on unjust suffering and how God uses that suffering to a believer’s advantage, and for His own glory.…

    Edwards employs pathos to appeal to his audience’s emotions through fear and show them what will happen if they do not convert. Then, he utilizes logos to appeal to his listener’s common sense and give them logical evidence to help convince them to become born again. Lastly, Edwards applies the appeal ethos to his sermon to gain the congregation’s trust so they will listen to him and convert. By applying these appeals to his sermon Edwards appeals to his listeners on several different levels ultimately leaving little to be questioned, and by doing this he is more likely to appeal to the congregation as a whole. Edwards applies the appeals wisely, and they all blend together to deliver his message and construct an incredibly persuasive sermon to help him convince the congregation to be born…

    I don’t talk about this anymore, because many people get freaked about it. In fact, I leave it out of my testimony, but maybe I should include it. A lot of evil things happened to my wife and I prior to becoming saved, however about 6 months after I gave my life to Christ I came under major attack by evil. I was working for some big name Christian leaders who sent me to train IT developers in San Diego. I was exhausted when I arrived so I went straight to my hotel room.…

After my mother agreed, I phoned her Pastor and asked for her permission to be interviewed.…

    For my final assignment, I chose to attend Sacred Heart Parish which is a Catholic Church located in Bridgeport, PA. I made the decision to attend Sacred Heart at the recommendation of a close family member, who is an active member of said church. Prior to attending this religious service, it had been approximately 8 years since the last time I had visited a religious institution. The first thing that I noticed upon my arrival was the appearance of the structure. Sacred Heart Parish exhibited many characteristics of a very traditional European Gothic Cathedral, in fact, it quite strongly resembled a medieval castle from the outside, which certainly allowed it to stand out among the rather modern brickwork structures that were far more prevalent…
