Apologetics

I was standing in the library reading some books about the past. It was another book on pre World War 3 that I found. I wonder why no one has read any of these books yet. They were so interesting. “The group ISIS has taken many parts of the Middle East and has made a country of their own. Nations have come together to stop this terrorist group, but things seem to be looking worse because of how well armed and trained the ISIS members are.” ISIS? Terrorist? I looked up the meaning of those…

Though Nicodemus never bothered to know why a man should be born again, Jesus responded by breaking his concept to smaller pieces. Jesus made use of apologetic in this discourse to illustrate the essential of the second birth. Nicodemus should understand there is no short cut to entering heaven. Man must be born again. It is the only way to enter the kingdom of God. Man must “be born of Water and of the Spirit” (John 3:5) to enter the Kingdom of God. If one considers that the discourse is on the…

Short Story I’ve always liked to walk on the beach. I like the feeling of the coarse sand between my toes as my feet sink into it with each slow step. I love the way the the ocean paws inquisitively at my passing footprints. The sea is truly beautiful. I’ve always admired it. I like to look out on the horizon and find the tiny waves throbbing on the line between sea and sky. Of course, in actuality the waves are probably huge, but from my standpoint here on the beach, even staring at…

Everything was ruined. No doubt Will was behind putting honey on the cake. He was the one closest to the food and he didn't get a slice. A cheap revenge! Erin was in tears as her hard work was nourishing bees and flies. "Why are you crying over Elodie's cake?" Sam asked her. When other skeptical glances met Erin's face, she quickly wiped her face. "It was her recipe that I followed," I intervened before anyone else could. Fortunately, the seniors believed it. "I can't believe one jealous…

After they got home we had a family heart to heart and I saw him express emotions in a way I’d never experienced. . He was deeply apologetic for her passing and grieved for the loss of his mother-in-law. All throughout the ordeal, my dad had been a huge comfort and support to the family. I saw him step up as a father and a husband, and that opportunity wouldn’t have been presented without…

The Rwandan Come Back Imagine having an event change, completely dividing a country. Imagine turning on your friends and family just because they are taller or have a different color skin. It is hard to, isn’t it? A little country in Africa, the size of Vermont, has been through this. Rwanda was a country that was divided by violence and genocide. But after years of suffering they have outgrown the aftermath and united again. I picked the song Heartbeat by The Fray that mentioned these aspects…

In the fourth century, Saint Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, wrote the apologetic treatise On the Incarnation to explain and defend Christ’s incarnation. This paper will look at three specific questions that can be drawn from this document which are relevant to modern Christians. First, what was Athanasius’ purpose in writing this text? Second, what is the central thesis and the main points of Athanasius’ argument? And third, what insights does Athanasius’ text provide that are pertinent…

In this world, there had been much suffering and grace that has befallen on the lives of many human beings. Great famine, terrorism, world wars, plague, persecution of Jews, massacres, and abuse have taken place in our history and unfortunately, there is still much suffering in most people’s lives today. According to Bryan Frances in his book Gratuitous Suffering and the Problem of Evil, “Our world contains enormous amounts of suffering. Virtually all the higher animals, humans included,…

CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP Weber (1947) was first to conceptualize charismatic leadership to describe forms of authority based on ‘exceptional powers and qualities…not accessible to ordinary person but are regarded as of divine origin or as exemplary’ (Compendium p.106) Since then, charismatic leadership is used to describe leaders who have ‘charismatic effect’ on their followers to an unusually high degree (Compendium p.121).

Paperback format: Duration: 100 pages Publisher: Simon & Brown (2010) - - - More is Less (The definition of ou, is not, and topos, being place... overal adds to a literal meaning of "nowhere" or "not-place") I 've refrained from using Latin wordage which crops up in More 's 'Utopia. ' Granted, some of the phrases are somewhat peculiar sounding and disjointed, likely from the Latin translation; I assume. It wasn 't exactly a distraction - nevertheless, I made a conscious effort in not…
