Evangelists

One Nation Under God Growing up in a Christian household, I was raised in believing that the United States and God went together. Even throughout all my schooling up until college I blindly participated in the pledge of allegiance, national anthem and other ceremonies that connected the country to god. I never questioned where my belief came from and for that matter where all of this nation’s god association came from. Being actively interested in history I knew that the pledge wasn’t always…

Most people in the world nowadays have an alarming rate of depression, there are a lot of causes for this mental illness. However, one of the causes for depression is lacking of purpose in life. A lot of adults just go to work at nine-to-five jobs that they hate, then go home or sometimes partying on the weekends, and then go to sleep to get ready for work tomorrow. The cycle keeps repeating, they just live in a repetitive and boring life with no purpose; this is where depression sneaks in, they…

different purpose and a different priority and a Christian. That makes me different. I receive different answer from God and achieve different answer that people of the world will have to acknowledge. Always reminding myself that I’m a disciple and an evangelist of God gives me a different view toward people. I’m able to understand why people are facing hardship everyday and know what they need in life the most. I’m also able to fight against the spiritual battle by knowing who my enemy is and…

From the ancient time, developing new ways to share information was one of the priorities. Even today, we spend a lot of time on the modern ways to get news, such as social networks and internet magazines. In fact, in the past 10 years, as one of the largest social networks, Facebook members have increased from 1 million in 2004 to 1.15 billion today. The average American spends 16 minutes of every hour on a social media networks. All of the old technologies to spread mass media are under the…

MY WORST ENEMY IS ME Introduction: There is an old familiar song that often pops up in my mind as I go about my daily activities. It does not matter what is going on in my life or what mood I am in, it always seems to have a special meaning to suit the occasion. It encourages me; it comforts me; and on this occasion, it inspired me to share a message with others. The song is, “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”, written by Joseph M. Scriven. The first verse of the song reads thusly: What a…

considers Silence as the only effective means of neutralizing the tendency towards sins of the tongue. There is an ongoing dialogue between the Benedictines and the Cistercians which juxtaposes a "monastic archetype" characterized by peace and Silence 11. A spring of water does not bubble out first with fresh water and then with bitter water. 12. One cannot pick olives from a fig tree or figs from a grape vine. Similarly one cannot draw fresh water from a salty pool. Although speech is morally…

Many people came to the New World looking for new possibilities, freedom, and a place to settle and become an established, respectable land. Starting in the early 1600’s, the Virginia Company wanted a settlement in America. The Chesapeake colonies, including Virginia and Maryland first established the town of Jamestown. “Jamestown was intended to become the core of a long-term settlement effort, creating new wealth for the London investors and recreating English society in North America”…

The abduction and murder of Bobby Franks broke the Chicago newspapers on May 23, 1924. Two days pervious to this, Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold were responsible for the crime. It quickly became known as “the crime of the century” and retained that dubious designation throughout the seventy-five years left in that spectacularly violent time span.1 This case was viewed upon so drastically because it was just so different from any others during this time. It was relatively unheard of, for men of…

may immediately visualize a preacher reading his Bible to his congregation, a study group meeting during Sabbath school, or a group of people getting together to promote a good cause. In Ephesians, a church can be defined as a group of apostles, evangelists, or prophets who has a spiritual purpose of preparing God's people for service until all reach unity in the faith of God (New International Version, Eph. 4:11-13). Since many modern churches focus on their outward appearances, they neglect…

I have been thinking about the recent Mississippi vote not to fully fund public school education. I realize it does little good to rehash old wounds, but sometimes a second look is warranted. That is especially true in light of the emotions that flowed so freely on both sides of the issue in the days leading up to the vote. So, putting aside the confusion caused by the ballot and the chancery judge issues that dominated the discussion prior to the people’s decision, I took a second long look…
