God Bless America

What do you think about when you hear the phrase, Christlike attributes? Personally, I think about the many wonderful and amazing qualities Jesus Christ has. Then I remember how we have been told to follow and become more like our Savior. However, becoming more like Him is a whole lot easier said than done. Today, I want to talk about how, if we develop these attributes, then we can receive so many blessings. So what are Christlike attributes? How can we develop them? How can developing…

Similarly Macario’s director is also careful in the composition of scenes that include religious figures such as the Devil and God in order to demonstrate their power. When the Devil appears, the camera uses a wide angle and the Devil walks in from the upper corner of the image. Later on, the camera captures the Devil from a low angle in mid and close-up shots. Throughout the time…

Giving up can better be defined as the ceasing of belief that something you wish to happen might be possible. In the autobiography Night written by Elie Wiesel, a Jew during World War II, who was sent to a concentration camp, we witness an example of a prisoner of war giving up. Wiesel has strength until the very end of his journey and right before liberation by the americans he looses hope as his father passes away. In life, many prisoners give up hope because of the fear they will never see…

you can see it yourself. So a questioner doesn’t believe in faith. But in many religions faith is held up as an important standard of right. People that believe in questioner go after people that are religious. They argue that, “how do you know that god exist.” Children are told by their parents what religion to follow when they were toddler, but as children got older they never ask the question why we follow this religion. One of the argument of questioner is parents tell their children what…

Lewis, and eventually committed his life to Christian service where he spent a brief times teaching in different places and eventually ended up back in Oxford to study theology, then later he became the Regent College Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology in 1996.

Rufus 's thoughts in response to Andrew 's rant were written of as the following: “He was glad he did not like Father Jackson and he wished his mother did not like him either, but that was not all. His uncle had talked about God, and Christians, and faith, with as much hatred as he seemed, a minute before, to talk with reverence or even with love” (308). The destructive force of religion is apparent in this section; Father Jackson 's submergence into the funeral processions…

Bible as an ally to teach what justice looks like. God and His will are revealed in His Word, so it has extreme significance. The infallibility of the Word of God is vital to evangelicalism. One can only know about God as much as He wills, and so the statements about God that God made in His Word are the only things we can absolutely be sure…

group. Apparently, one of her friends attends a wellness church. From what she explained, people who go to wellness churches believe that your relationship with God is directly proportionate to your place on the Earth. If you were to suddenly become bankrupt at a wellness church, the people there would think you’ve had a falling-out with God. It is terrifying that some people actually think this way, and it definitely shows how society is able to skew what love and happiness are. In…

It is our environment that affects the choices that we make as human beings. The argument is, are we as humans, born with the intent of doing evil and we learn manners as we get older, or, are we as humans naturally trying to do good and what is right, but it can vary depending on your environment. William Golding, author of “Lord Of The Flies”, believes that we humans naturally do evil. While on the other side, Jean-Jacques Rousseau believes that it all depends on what kind of environment you…

let me ask this, which is more pleasing to the Devil - mercy filling our hearts and the lives of those accused saved, and their hearts brought back to God, or the senseless hanging of those who may have indeed loved God, and were simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time? I beg you, please the Devil no more, and turn your hearts up to God. She has done no wrong. There is no proof. Elizabeth has no feeling of guilt, she knows she is innocent. It should be clear to you as well. Do not…
