Martin Luther King Jr. was a famous and respectable man when he was alive. He was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He gave many sermons and speeches in his day. On one very important day, 4 February 1968, he gave a sermon called “The Drum Major Instinct;” it was based off an adaptation of J. Wallace Hamilton’s “Drum-Major Instinct.” In King’s sermon, he explains what the drum major instinct is and why you need to be cautious with it. King believed that you shouldn’t use…

relationship with them. Third using scare tactics like global warming in order to prove their theory or theories in order to get the attention of the people, thus impacting both the spread of the gospel and misleading others in the hermeneutics of the Bible. It’s is my opinion that the way environmentalist (both professional, and non-professional) go about using scripture to prove their case is wrong. First you cannot take a passage like Romans 1:20 which says: “For since the…

Introduction There is a constant theme of the presence of God in the Old Testament in which God attempts to show His people (the Israelites) His law and how to live by them. Idolatry, one of the largest problems amongst the Israelites in the old testament and many of the letters of Paul to the churches in the new testament are proof that this is an ongoing issue Them Exodus is the second book of the Old Testament through which God’s fulfilment of promises to past generations are communicated…

The Bible doesn 't actually say "we are to live 'heaven to earth '". There is no literal verse in the Bible explicitly stating that. We know there are topics in the Bible that are not explicitly mentioned (i.e. the Holy Trinity). For example, the Trinity is not a term that can be found in the Bible, but it can be proved with other verses that speak specifically to the fact that God the Father, Jesus…

Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears Chapter Summaries Chapter One: Trinity: God Is Humans seek unconditional love for ourselves and for others as well as to live in a perfect world. We are designed by God to need him and his perfect love. We are made to worship and love Him. God is one person, but He has three separate identities: not three separate beings. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are all one who is known as God. Jesus is also God, but we…

Word Count: 89 God reveals the Christian worldview in the Bible, which is an outline for Christians to follow. As Christians, we believe that God is the creator of all things. Genesis 1:1 tells us “God created the Heavens and the Earth.” This belief is an example of a theistic belief, believing that something was created from nothing (Gutierrez, 65), which is what the Bible teaches us. There are many instances in the Bible, where God is referred to as creator and Lord. For example, David…

and Christ. I am thankful for your vast knowledge and understanding of being in Christ. I am also extremely grateful for your letters that comprise the New Testament. Thank you for your teachings and for your inclusion of the Gentiles in the holy movement, for without your works I may be without God and Christ. I pray that God strengthens your works and that clarity and unity you desired for followers of God occurs. The present argument for my letter is to entreat you to clarify the…

so maybe all those that are believers in God should stay and just do as they were instructed by Jesus to love and serve others as He showed them by His example and His love, but always keeping their hearts and minds on God and things above. The bible is pretty clear about Christians seeking the kingdom of God first, and to walk by faith not by sight. There are many scriptures that discuss God 's grace which was shown by Jesus laying down His own life for His friends, so that the sins of this…

the canon (books of the Bible.) Some people believe there should be more books added to the canon (apocrypha) while others believe that certain books be stripped away from the canon. I have prepared myself to have a personal conversation about the authority that establishes the canon. Here are three questions that could arise when having a personal conversation about the canon: 1. Who determines which books make it into the Bible and which books do not make it into the Bible? 2. How did they…

Being holy is a command by the Lord, he tells us that he is the most holy and that we should be like him. We have to do our best to live holy lives, which is not any easy thing to do because of the world we live in is corrupt. The devil has a strong grip on the majority of this world and he is not letting go any time soon. In this paper I will be talking about how my denomination takes a biblical stand point on holiness, whether or not I believe holiness can be attained in this life, and how I…
