In order to share the gospel with others, we have to take a look at what God is calling us to do. Leading others consists of knowing what the Christian life looks like, sharing that with others, and staying faithful and truthful in what we say…

Colossians 3:8, “Anger, wrath, malice, slander.” (ESV Colossians 3:5) As Christian people, who intend to follow Christ, we sometimes do not really follow Christ. It is easy to say love your neighbor, meaning everyone. On the other hand, it is very hard to follow through with that.

Lewis offers an insight into the Christian world that I, and many other teenagers and even adults, probably have never even thought about or considered. When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity. But, as I…

According to Merriam-Webster, Puppetry is the skill or activity of using puppets in performances. Not many peoples first thoughts when they hear of plays in the area think of puppetry, but it happens to be one of the oldest forms of art and is also still practiced around the world. In my opinion I would not want to sit in a theatre and watch a bunch of puppets because my first though of puppets are people holding things over there hands or people hidden behind a curtain with only the puppet…

communicates his thoughts through history, is by using several historical symbols, like historical text, that have meanings in relation to his ideas. Kiefer puts his thoughts into place by using historical aspects, but combining them with the elements of art to paint them corresponding to his views. For example, in Ways of Worldly Wisdom: Arminius’s Battle the historical people used are painted in a circle surrounding things, which show his…

In the 1800s, Alexis de Tocqueville claimed that “There is no country in the world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America.” This was understandably true in the early nineteenth century. Even today, religion plays a significant role in laws and issues in our country. However, the truth of the matter often gets lost in the changes that our society has gone through. Many today end up rejecting or condemning Christianity as childish,…

Critical Reflection 1 The call to be a Christian is unique to the individual who chooses to follow the word of the Lord and bring Christ into their life.
