Chapter 1: The Most Beautiful Churches in the World In this chapter, Atkinson reminds the reader that the church is not a building but the people of God. A lot of time Christians can get caught up in the building they gather in and miss the whole purpose of church. Churches tend to be ineffective when they think this way. It is important for the leadership of the church to help their congregation understand that it is not about the building they meet in but the people who meet in the building.…

Genesis 3-11 tells us how humanity constantly sinned against God by distorting the original perfect image God had made in Genesis 1 and 2. A question I’m curious about is who wrote the book of Genesis? Who did Noah tell after the flood who would have recorded this story of the flood in Genesis many years later? I learned that Adam lived to be 930 years old which is awesome because I never knew how long he lived after the fall. When the scriptures say that God created us in His image, it does…

gods. For example the Greeks and Romans believed that dream had the power to tell the future. Certain dreams meant that person had direction communication with the supernatural. Some of the most prominent dream interpretations can be seen in the Christian faith. From the numerous stories in the Bible including 1 Kings 3:5. A dream was give to Solomon from God asking what he wanted him to give him. In the end, Solomon chose to receive wisdom. As a young child I dreamt of a man with no face…

The dual store model of memory is classified into three categories which are sensory registry, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Each of these categories has a different processing role within the brain of human. Therefore, this process is known as human information processing (HIP) that allows individuals understanding the amount of information that each category can retrieve, store within, and put out (Dr. Gadomski, M., 2017). Ormrod (2016) states being exposed to new information does…

Chapter Six Summary Chapter six explores what the author calls the early church approach of verse by verse preaching (Allen Jr., 39). This form flows the way it is labeled, verse by verse with the addition of application between each verse. A pendulum like structure that swings from exegesis of the biblical text to the application portion immediate after the verse is explained. As the author states, and I agree, the verse by verse form’s strengths is that using this form allows for the text to…

We had a mission, a goal, and a plan. What we came back with was much more. We came home with a new faith and a new understanding of life. To say it was an eye opener is an understatement. The elders of the church and some people of the community thought we went to Jamaica to help them in their faith with God, but in all honesty, it helped my youth group and each of our faiths even more. Some of the ways it helped us is it made realize if the Jamaican who had very little of anything could…

In verse 44 “in general, “apo” meaning comes from the classical Greek donates motion from the edge or surface of an object while “ek” means “out, out of”; donates motion from within going out. But in Hellenistic Greek the distinction between these was becoming blurred, so that meaning of these two words overlaps considerably.” Therefore, the use of apo and ek together in (John 1:44) could mean the “place of original.” It could be true because as we observed from ‘the setting of this…

Coreluv is an institution based out of Haiti that was created to take in orphans and provide them with a home. With the help of many other churches from around the world Coreluv is able to provide more services to those orphans such as a closer well, more books to learn, and rooms to provide for these kids. This institution is virtuous because they teach orphans about God, provide them with food and water, and lastly provide them with an education, which will make them into thinkers of the…

Christ make it their mission to inform them while also helping those who do know about Jesus to experience their own faith. They live out God’s message to be disciples of Jesus by focusing on youth and young adults, strengthening the members of Christians, and primarily serving outside their community. It is important to remember that the youth of today is the future of tomorrow. This is precisely the reason why the Missioners of Christ reach out to the younger members of society. The youth…

things before, and based a reaction off of that fact. The article as if it is missing something, most likely more explanation from Trump's side or perhaps more quotes from his point of view. Overall the article is extremely well-written, it shows the Christian side of recent politics without combining church and state. It manages to give a religious leaders perspective without the religious leader criticizing the political leader: the pope simply asks the world to pray for world leaders and for…
