Isaiah 43:14-19 God’s Redemption Power There are times when we dwell on our past trials and tribulations, when such occurs God wants us to move forward and focus on him. I know we all can testify to some degree in our lives of the many trials we have all have come through in life. If had not been for the Lord who was on our side where would we be.

“The Alchemist” teaches readers something about the importance of self-discovery by taking us through the journey of a young shepherd, Santiago. The book espouses individuality as a means of achieving the ultimate goals of creation. Additionally, Paulo Coelho is expedient in telling Santiago's peregrination of selfhood through symbolism and metaphor. Initially, Coelho portrays Santiago's gain of self-knowledge with the use of allegory. When the author says, "The desert is a capricious lady, and…

The Holy Spirit unites those who have faith to Christ so that they can share the benefit of Christ’s work towards human being. In other words, union with Christ defines the existence of Christians who have faith in Christ’s saving work…

Smart discusses the telling of how family secrets is tied into the workings of family memories and that the stories people tell has a lot to do with how the family narrates its story. It explores contradictions and provides us with a view of how that can shape a person’s view of an important figure in their life. In "Blankets," Thompson portrays his childhood, initial love, and adulthood in a Christian family, which has many different scenes where we see Craig grow and we see him doing a lot of…

The purpose was worshiping at the tomb of Jesus, known as the Holy Sepulcher (Phillips 2014). While the Mohammedan Arabs controlled Palestine, they allowed this form of worship. Enter the Seljuk Turks who were a more aggressive and demanding form of Mohammedans, and would make it more difficult for Christians to worship in these holy lands; it became forbidden and dangerous to do so (Phillips 2014). There was a common enemy, however, in the infidel…

If we were to apply Osmer’s “theo-drama” theory, I believe the first and second offices of apostle and prophet (as teacher) would resemble a mini-series, because the course of actions leading up to these particular offices are especially long. For example, the process of the apostle and in-house prophet includes spirit led practices such as; the study of the written word accompanied by prayer, baptism into the ministry of teaching (theophany and witness), leadership testing (dry seasons),…

Everyone, including unbelievers, has his own mask which he makes and wears. This mask is used to cover up what is inside, sin. Even our appearances are used as masks. I believe this applies to not only believers. Another key theme in this book is grace in several of its different aspects. In April of 2016, I began working in the deli of a grocery store. I got to know my coworkers well for over four months. They all seemed to be doing well. Specifically, Marshall did his job well. He…
