amongst men, Jesus must use characteristics of God as his evidence; coincidentally, the Bible gives explicit words to do this. The Bible shows that God will not “yield [His] glory to another or [His] praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8, New International Version). Yet, throughout the New Testament, there are constant callings to praise Jesus. There is only one explanation for this, that “Jesus was the glory of God” (Macarthur, 2003). To add to this, God says in Isaiah that there is no other God or…

invade the avenue.” She was doing what she always has: watching. She has been a spectator for her entire life, and she is now only seeing a change. The author used the word “invade” because that is exactly what Frank is doing. He was unexpected and new, and he was asking her to make a change instead of merely watching her life go by. The second sentence of the text, “Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odor of dusty cretonne.” was written in a passive…

dead. As society makes its way into the “post-journalism era” (Bolin, 2014, 338), more of the news is becoming saturated with sensationalism and with an influx of, according to Nguyen (2012), lifestyle journalism. Which is, as believed by Nguyen (2012) the entertainment oriented “marginalisation and trivialisation of public affairs” (Nguyen, 2012 p. 1), that is the catalyst in “...the ‘dumbing down’ of news” (Nguyen, 2012, p.1). For the past decades the blurring of entertainment and information…

I chose to do my analytical review on The Gospel of Mark. Mark is known as The Gospel of the Wonder-Working Servant. The book of Mark is written by John Mark, in Rome between 60-70 c.e. Mark’s beginning of religious followings came when he accompanied Barnabas and Paul on the first missionary journey. After that journey Barnabas wanted to take Mark on the second journey, but Paul would not let him go because he said he was a failure, so Barnabas and Paul went back to Cypress. According to the…

Jesus who died for all sinners. Another aspect of Israel in the death and resurrection of Jesus is the creation of a new covenant. Jesus sheds his blood to create this new covenant, fulfilling the final part of the covenant with Abraham. The Mosaic covenant provided a great nation, the Davidic covenant produced a great name, but the eternal blessing had not been fulfilled until the new covenant with Jesus. This is the final covenant and promise to the people of Israel, after many previous being…

Eyes of a Witness Have you ever asked yourself what you want to do with your life, and have you ever asked yourself what your purpose is in life? Also, have you ever asked yourself what path you should take in your life, and have you ever asked yourself where your journey should begin and end? And finally, have you ever asked yourself who God is and where God is? I have pondered these questions many times over and over again, and yet I have not been able to answer these questions. Nevertheless,…

over—or at the very least in the midst of an extended hiatus—I got the opportunity to take those skills that I had learned through years of competition and apply them to life. I realized that I was moving into an exciting and important time in my life—a new hole if you will—and that I needed to approach it with the same intensity and dedication that I would practice or compete with. In a recent interview, Tiger Woods described his approach to success, “I think every great champion who has ever…

world differently regarding materialism, naturalism, deism, polytheism and many unseeing manners (Dockery& Thornbury, 2002). Seeing things in these perspectives provides direction and bearings when faced with different situations and challenges of new age, spirituality, secularity and pluralistic approaches to truth and morality (Dockery &Thornbury 2002). As Christians, we understand that everyone has their own opinion and view of life. Lastly, Christian worldview offers sense and resolutions…

The New Testament tells us more about this topic than it does about heaven or hell. Unity is at the center of what we are supposed to focus on as we grow closer and more like Christ. In fact, Christ, at the end of his life prayed earnestly for our unity.…
