    The biblical reading that I selected is from the book of Acts, Chapter 5: 1-11, which is the story of Ananias and Sapphira. My reason for choosing this story is personal. While living in Italy, we were in Rome with some of our seminarian friends. We were waiting to go on the Scavi tour and had some free time. One of the seminarians asked if we had ever seen the sacristy in St. Peter’s. We had not, so he took us in for a tour. After the tour of the sacristy, we walked out into the Basilica.…

    Chapter one describes the relationship between "holiness" and "separation." Dr. Moritz says, "separation is not all there is to holiness, but it is a vital part of the concept" (page 9). A study of the major Hebrew and Greek words (also put in English form for those who don't know Hebrew or Greek!) shows that "to sanctify, to make holy" includes the idea, "to set apart" (pages 8,9,105–113). God's holiness is intrinsic (i.e. necessary to His nature) and is both negative (separate from evil) and…

    I want to continue my education in a Christian academic community because of the social hardships that I faced in high school. I firmly believe that when people live with Christ they have a Jesus vibe that makes forming deeper bonds more meaningful. In high school, I have made good friends; however, they aren't believers which makes navigating the perils of high school more difficult because the way I choose to live is significantly different than their way of pursuing life. Whether it was a…

    1. Textual study and interpretation: First of all, my reading is a Gospel, Mark 9:2-9. It is a narrative, about Jesus’ transfiguration in the mountain. Therefore, I read verses like a storyteller. 2. Embodiment: I used pause, emphasize. Pace inflection, volume. I only used my hand to hold The Bible, when reading I tried to make eye contact with the audience, also by using my eyes and looking three different places, I tried to create images Jesus, Moses and Elijah Breath control and posture:…

    The King James Bible, otherwise known as the Authorized Version, is the infallible, inspired, preserved Word of God. This is a fact that we know and believe, but why is this Bible the correct one? Why not one of the many other versions? To understand we need to look at the history of the English Bible. The King James Bible is the seventh of the English translations. Seven is a sign of completion, of perfection. The first of the major translations was John Wycliffe and his Wycliffe Bible in 1384.…

    you have to make it a habit to constantly be developing your mind. Moreland states in Chapter 5 of his book, “a carefully developed mind is a crucial part of part of a well-ordered soul” (pg. 120). It is hard to get into the habit of studying the Bible in an intellectual way. We have been trained not to look at Christianity as a way to build ourselves intellectually.
