Children of God

“God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.” ― Augustine of Hippo, City of God Panegyric: Saint Augustine is the figure of the great Bishop of Hippo (the city of Bona). His book City of God became a monumental theology of history as Augustine’s analysis is timeless and universal. Paraphrastic: If our hands are full when God is trying to hand us blessings, our hands are probably full of things that we are addicted to. That also means our…

From an early age, Blake began experiencing prophetic visions of God and angels which had a lasting effect on the writing he produced. Blake had the belief that his writings were of national importance and that they could be understood by a majority of men. While this was not a belief Blake shared with the public, it did not stifle his need to share the Holy Word with his audience. As a poet, Blake presents two sides of his views, but dismisses neither in favor of the other. In reading any of…

Children are such curious creatures. They explore, question, and wonder, and by doing so, learn. From the moment of birth, we humans are drawn to new things. When we are curious about something new, we want to explore it. And while exploring we discover, asking ourselves questions to fortify our curiosity. But what happens when the answers we seek don’t exist? Frustration flows through our bodies and we begin to question the principles we’ve be instilled with. The protagonist in the novel “Bless…

ungodliness. The truth is that knowledge apart from the mercy and love of God, leads people to being prideful (1 Corinthians 8:1). Christian families across the nation must take a stance to stand against all evilness with one purpose, and that is to set God’s children apart from the evil holds of the world. Do not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans…

Assessment Micah was a follower of Isaiah. He came from the—somewhat unknown—village of Moresheth. Micah had attacked the rich and dishonest leaders of Moresheth during his time. He wrote to the Israelites who were living in Judah. He warned them that God was unhappy because they disobeyed Him and His law. Micah assured that the people in Judah who obeyed the law and did what was right would change God’s judgement and Israel would not be destroyed. Micah was a prophet of social justice. He…

Atum, the sun-god, first appeared on a hill that was revealed from the receding chaotic waters of Nun. Atum asexually created Shu (air) and Tefnu (moisture) whom in return created the principles of life and order (Powell 71). The following part is a little unclear for some scholars argue that Shu and Tefnu got lost within the chaos of Nun which Atum sent his only eye to look for his children (Nardo 53). Other scholars state that Atum sent his only eye…

and His commandments. To lead the people, God sent many judges to direct the Israelites to God, as described in the book of Judges. These leaders have many common traits including faith in God, courage, and perseverance. Although, they were all successful in the end, many of them did not revere God as ultimate authority, but rather did what was right in their own eyes. Israelite culture in this time stressed finding your own truth rather than trusting in God for all answers. For this reason, the…

The premise of this idea is that if God is all good and all powerful how can he allow evil to exist in our world? There are many theories and argument defending God and attacking Christianity. Arguments like the free will defense, evidential problem, and skeptical theism are some of the most convincing and debatable responses to the problem of evil. Despite evil haunting all living things, many questions if evil is necessary or if the result of evil proves God does not exist. The problem…

a part of my life after confirmation. I do go to church now, but I think from now on it will be more of my choice than my parents choice. Faith in Jesus Christ to me means believing without seeing. I haven’t had an amazing moment where my faith in God has shown, but I still do believe in him and his wonderful ways. Question 4: What does prayer mean to me? Prayer in my life probably isn’t as big of a deal…
