A Kindred Spirit

You have a son? I have a son too! My first born is a girl and I quickly have learned that my daughter and son are complete opposites. For example, my daughter likes clean things, is more quiet, shy at times, and is modest. My son, on the other hand, loves a good dirt pile, keeps cool rocks he finds in his pockets, out going, dramatic and you don't know how many times I've told him to not pee in the front yard where everyone can see him. hahaha Since they are opposite in most every way, I often…

I really like the image called "Those Who Love Me Will Keep My Word". In this image it shows two people who are obviously starving and the one on top is holding the other and feeding him something from a bowl. I interpret the image as Jesus (on top) giving his strength and hope to someone else (on the bottom). I chose this representation of Jesus because Jesus is the definition of strength and grace, he will help anyone before himself. When Jesus was on earth he helped anyone who needed it; the…

The body and soul collectively are in the course of redemption. The problems caused because of dualism and the fact that we are bodies has led to the origin of body theology. Body theology is stimulated by liberation theology, process thought and feminist/womanist theology. Process thought is an evolutionary approach towards becoming. As we see that history is part of becoming, so it is also written on the body and by the body, which says that God is working on the body and aslo in and…

As Michael Brown states in What They Don’t Tell you: A Survivor’s Guide to Biblical Studies: a Bible study focuses more on helping people to either understand what God wants in their life or how to be a better Christian. Sometimes Bible study helps solidify theological beliefs, or to develop new theological beliefs. As Brown stated, Bible study is often more of a mid week worship than a scholarly breakdown of the Bible. On the other hand, Biblical study differs from Sunday School because you…

According to St. John, Jesus is the messenger of God, his word par excellence, who came to this world to make us know the Father. He does not speak for himself but testifies to the truth that I hear from the father, and his whole life is a revelation of his glory which he received from his own father before the creation of the world. Jesus did not come to judge the world, but to save it. But, by simply manifesting men, he puts them before an alternative: that of remaining in his own darkness or…

Part A #1 I would start out the story by mentioning how Abraham is a great person. I would start explaining the importance of doing the right thing. Abraham knew the consequences if he were to get caught, but he also knew what was right. If he were to get caught he would be severely punished, but that didn’t stop Abraham. He risked his life, and his daughter's life to protect these strangers. If Abraham would have gotten caught, his daughters could have been raped, and he possibly could have…

Hawkins and Clinton…

Dr. K and Class, According to J, Caddock today the spiritual formation development has become very widespread with postmodernism, but this postmodern perspective knowledge in numerous disciplines is progressing outside of the devotion and truthfulness of the Lord Jesus Christ Word and the Gospel, in to a mystical practice pertaining to Christianity, which has subverted, to several points, practically, the entire evangelical values. Too frequently, supporters within the existing spiritual…
