I have been a part of the Calvary Baptist Youth group since my freshman year of highschool. I remember I was terrified because I didn’t know anyone there since all the other kids are from other school districts. After a while I got used to the group and made friends. The impact this group has had on my life is tremendous. I feel like I’m part of a family that helps me stay the strong christian that I want to be and they have helped me realize the importance of sticking together. Knowing that I…

In 2016, Bethany Baptist Church celebrates eighty-four years of ministry in the Highlands area of Louisville. The church’s peak membership of more than 1,100 people occurred in the 1970’s, during the ministry of the senior pastor with the longest tenure at Bethany—a tenure of twenty-four years.

Many things that have happened in my life have led me to Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU). The path for me to get to OBU was all part of God’s plan for my life. It all started at around the time I turned five and fell in love with sports. Ever since then my life has been centered around sports, whether it be baseball, basketball, football, or golf. If it involved competition then I was going to participate. When I was a kid my favorite sport was basketball, mainly because my grandfather played…

We live in a society where times have changed and so have the traditions of many. In this 21st century we have more people open to accepting the beliefs of others, but we still see in some cases how loyalty can fog logical reasoning. Although foggy logical reasoning could be negative their can also be a positive effect in loyal peoples actions. Looking at religion as a whole, we see certain groups of people expressing their faith by committing acts of terrorism, and subordination. In other…

heard of these instances from the Westboro Baptist Church out of Topeka, Kansas and the even more uncontrollable and damaging cyberbullying. As long as the people using hate speech do not use “threats of illegal conduct or incitement intended to and likely to produce imminent illegal conduct,” (Volokh) then they are protected by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Serving in the Marine Corps here in Oklahoma City, I have come across the Westboro Baptist Church while doing a funeral detail in…

God. However, everything chances during my last year of Middle school. My family and I started to attended Hmong First Baptist Church. I thought to myself, "It's going to be boring like those other churches." As time moved on, I keep on attending Hmong First Baptist Church and getting to know the youth more, I felt more closer to my youth but mostly to Jesus. Hmong First Baptist Church is the first church that open up and invite me to be part of their Sunday church family. During bible study…
