Christianity faces a major threat today, but it does not come from without; it comes from within. Many have labeled this threat as the “emerging church” movement. This is a reformist movement within Christian-oriented circles primarily characterized by protest (Carson 9, 14, 25). Few have taken up the task of discussing this movement in detail, but in D.A. Carson’s work on the subject, he exhaustively covers the movement and what it means for Christian-oriented people. Carson succeeds in this…
Chillingworth’s Revenge and Destruction of Dimmesdale and Hester One Villain The Scarlet Letter takes place during the 17th century amid the Puritans of Boston. The Puritans had left The Church of England because they felt that the church had become too liberal in their thinking. As a result the plot of The Scarlet Letter is even more intense relative to the adultery and the revenge of the villainous character of Roger Prynne “Chillingworth” set among the very religious Puritans of Boston.…
Dramatic music plays softly in the background as images of children and their living conditions flash across the TV screen. A video similar to these profoundly impacted my life, my sophomore year of high school. During a sermon about missions, my church camp pastor projected a video onto the sanctuary walls that included statistics about world poverty, starvation, and disease.

For centuries before, the Papacy dominated nearly every aspect of life, politics and even economics throughout Western Europe for all social classes. The Reformation was a religious movement, but not strictly. The desire for a deeper spirituality with God was just one of the reasons for this revolutionary time period. The masses desired to exercise economic, religious and social freedoms from the Catholic Church, and many kingdoms,…

The idea of “The Right to Govern” changed drastically over time, and it changed by people having different opinions on the matter. For example, while Thomas Hobbes’s beliefs on the rights of the people to govern were heavily based on the system of total monarchy and people handing over their rights to a ruler. On the other hand, John Locke’s beliefs were heavily based off of the system known as self-government, and the right to consent to how much the government could govern you as a citizen.…
“Only when the last tree has died and the last river poisoned and the last fish caught will we realize we cannot eat money” This is a Cree Indian Proverb that shows how the Native Americans felt about the policies in which the United States instituted for them. These policies gave them land with no food, rivers with no fish, and money with no value. Americans saw themselves as generous, but they gave them nothing of meaning with these policies. So what did these policies that had no usefulness…
cleansing is different every time. If the ritual can’t be performed in the home or a church then it can be done over the phone (God Bless America, Stollznow 124). This might seem a little odd for some people but for the followers of this religion it makes sense to not scare the victim because they don't know they are being exorcised. In the rituals they use candles, sage, incense and other herbs. The Catholic Church believes that the New Age actually brings upon possessions because their…
