What my husband's advancement to Chief Petty Officer means to me? The answer of that question could be 10 pages long or I could just resume what I feel in one word, "extremely proud", well I guess two words. I met Christian 16 years ago, he was full of energy, funny, and he had the ability to turn any sad or bad situation into a joke making everybody laugh; that is what make me fell in love with him. On the other hand, he was a little immature, unfocused when it comes to work, and nothing seemed to fulfill his expectations. I always knew that his passion was a career in the military, but that was out of question in my book!…
In the Bible, there are many passages from the Gospel where Christians learn about prayer from Jesus. Prayer as many Christians already know is the communication between us and God. Jesus learned how to pray from his beloved mother Mary, the Jewish tradition and even on his own. During Jesus’ ministry, Jesus taught us how to pray by giving us instructions on how to pray and using parables in order to teach us about a message or prayer in the Gospel. In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John they are five specific passages that help us learn about prayer from Jesus.…
Much like Psalm 1, most of these proverbs deal in comparisons and contradictions and the most blaring example is the seemingly endless list of differences between the paths of the wise and the wicked. Not only is good and wickedness contrasted in these proverbs, but also wisdom and foolishness (though the terms can be synonymous with good and wickedness). What is interesting is how wickedness and wisdom are portrayed in different ways. On one hand, there is heavy use of feminine imagery where wisdom is depicted as a woman crying out in the streets for people to heed her. She or it is to be valued above earthly and material treasures, whereas the “loose” or “strange” woman that represents wickedness or foolishness is to be avoided at all…
Sherry, You wrote some good information on your DB post on the Bible and it’s prophecy. I would like to start off saying the Bible contains various types of prophecies. Prophecies that comes to pass in a single generation can be true, but many not constitute proof to a later generation. A funny thing happens when the Bible is believed. Growing up, I would hear about how in history people thought the world was coming to an end, time after time.…

For Christians, the Bible is the ultimate standard by which truth, worldview, right, and wrong are determined. The idea that biblical truth can be communicated, and for some, better understood in a work of fiction may seems ludicrous, but even the Bible recognizes this as a fact. Throughout the God’s Word parables and other stories are used to convict people and communicate principles. By having a different perspective, often achieve through a story, it can become easier to determine right from wrong. In this way a story can be used to help people recognize wrong that they are trying to hide, justify, or ignore.…
The identity of the Christian church has become confused; the church is not the building people gather at on Sundays or holidays and it is not the denomination they belong to. Rather, the church transcends time, it is the totality of every believer ever. This misconception has lead to the rapid failure of the church today. Churches are becoming impersonal institutions that focus on their programs and attendance more than the people they are herding in. There is a serious lack of transformation and commitment in today's church.…

It set an example for Capitalism and Judicial systems, and gives people something to look forward to after death.…
The Benefits of Bible Quiz As Christian raised children finish elementary school and graduate to middle school and high school, they may find that they would rather spend time with their friends or have free time than reading and studying the Word of God. Having grown up in Sunday School learning Bible stories like Jonah and the Whale and Daniel in the Lion’s Den, many young adults think they know all about the Bible. However, the Bible contains many more stories and ideas not taught in Sunday School that help us as we grow. We cannot get by on basic Bible stories that we have heard over and over again.…
