When Therapy Contradicts itself Conversion therapy (also known as reparative therapy) used to “fix” people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT).

chapter twelve of Exodus, we see many twists and turns in their relationship with God. However, among the more notable actions of the Israelites is the construction of the golden calf, which occurs while Moses sits on the mountain and communes with the Lord.

Throughout this semester, many important topics have been covered. Each of these topics are crucial to a believer's faith, however there are some that stand out in my mind as being most important. All of these topics I had somewhat of an understanding before taking the class, but I have grown in my knowledge and would consider them to be the most important things I have further learned through this course. The topics are: God’s chief end is to glorify Himself, God is faithful, and…

Testament and the book of Exodus is the second. Both are believed to be written by Moses some time between 1450-1410 B.C.

Palestine and Zionism: The Thin Line between Hatred and Justice In 1947, millions of Palestinians lost their rights to their land. They were wiped off the map, abused in their own homes, and forcibly removed from their country. Children were slaughtered fearlessly, fathers were run over with tanks as they stood guard in front of their homes, and mothers were sexually and mentally assaulted in prisons. A nation once known for its beauty, kindness, and hospitality was entirely destructed and…

You said "Lose What?" Really? Sorry its to complicated for you to follow, lose against radical Islamic terrorism.
