out now and take it to the headwaiter. ‘When the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine…’” (JN 2:7-9). Only the servers Jesus had commanded and his disciples knew that this was an act from the Messiah. The disciples began to believe in Jesus after they witnessed a feat as sudden as this. One of the signs was performed when his disciples were sailing across the sea “When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat…” (JN 6:19).…

agrees that the kingdom of God/heaven is the component of Jesus’ teaching style and the focus of his missions and discipleship (420). The first way that Jesus presents Israel that the kingdom has come. The second way is when He is talking to His disciples about the coming end (Matt 24:14). Hence, the gospel of the kingdom, according to , is presented right before Jesus’ was introduced to the world and during His…

famous monk of the desert fathers, Anthony the Great, started his vocation in 285 AD. Furthermore, between 550 and 1150 AD, the first and second Benedictine Eras took place.

Thirty years later, he became the founder of the Benedictine monastery in Monte Cassino, Italy where he wrote his rules. Unintentionally, the rules that he had written became the primary guide for monastic living in Western…

THE TEN VIRGINS AND THE OIL Let us prove this point from the Scriptures. God is a Spirit. God is also the Word. The Spirit always leads to the Word. This is even confirmed by the parable of the Ten Virgins and the Oil (Matthew 25: 1-13). Five of them were wise and five were foolish. They all took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. The wise took their lamps and also extra oil in a separate vessel. The foolish took their lamps but did not take extra oil with them. The…

tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”” This scripture means that Jesus had kept His promise which he previously spoke of rising after the third day. This scripture through the angel speaking documents another miracle and teaches us what happened to Jesus after he was crucified. These scripture also gives Mary Magdalene and Mary direction for them to tell His disciples and for what His disciples are…

feeding the hungry. Another example of Jesus’ destiny being exemplified is in Mark 10:45: “For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” In Mark 16, when Jesus rises from the dead, he tells the disciples to go to the people to tell them about the word of the suffering servant and messiah: “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:45). This shows that even Jesus himself has implied himself as one who should…

The parable of bags of gold, also known as the parable of talents tells a story of opportunity and the importance of keeping your faith in The Lord. During biblical times in the gospels it was common for Jesus to speak in parables to spread his teachings in a manner that would allow people to ignite the inquisitive critical thinker inside oneself. Found in the gospel of Matthew, this parable is short and includes extraordinary amounts of gold as currency to illustrate the consequences or rewards…

I choose to read this letter because it appealed to me because of soldier’s feeling toward the war. He started his letter to his wife, Roberta, by stating “Today is probably the worst day I have ever lived in my entire, short life” and when he continues writing it shows how depressed and questions his faith along his time in the Vietnam “I keep asking myself if there is a God, then how the hell come young men with so much to live for have to die.” One of the hardest things that soldiers…
