perfectly at Calvin, because my goal is to put God first. Putting God first, for me, mainly means enthusiasm: enthusiasm for God, enthusiasm for life and learning, and enthusiasm for others. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than men.” I try my best to live by this statement daily, no matter where I am or what mood I am in. Enthusiasm for God is the most important trait I can think of. I love God, and I love worshipping Him and learning more…

the Christian life is about. God created us to glorify Him. The meaning of life is to honor, obey, and glorify God. As we focus on God, and glorify Him, our joy will be made complete. As John Piper famously says, “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” Not only were we created to give God the glory He rightly deserves, but we were saved to live for His glory on a daily basis (cf. 1 Cor. 6:20). One of the greatest ways Christians can glorify God is by proclaiming His…

While previous philosophers tried to discover what one thing created everything, Medieval philosophers flawlessly rationalized that God is…

The great minister Jonathan Edwards’s sermon to his congregation stands as a warning of the dangers they will face if they fail to rue for their sins and devote to Almighty God. He expresses his conviction that all people are surviving only through the mercy of God, and if they do not repent then God will gladly and easily cast them all to hell. He argues that, because of God's power, there is absolutely no escape for the wicked no matter how ,“moral and strict, sober and religious, they may…

A Man of God. what does it mean? Is it a title, a designation, a position, or is it merely a phrase that is associated with good preachers? There are many examples of the Man of God all throughout the Bible. Specifically there are 73 verses that have that exact phrase, Man of God. These verses range from Deuteronomy 33:1- II Timothy 3:17.

forced the indigenous people to conform to them and do what the Spanish told them to do. Some indigenous people grew tired of it and started to revolt. Two rebellions that pursued during the Spanish ruling was the Canek Rebellion, in Yucatán, and the Great Rebellion, in Peru. These rebellions represent a revitalization movement.

ideologies of favor. When God favors man, he essentially is utilizing him to convey a larger message to humankind. The Old Testament takes a varying stance on the justification of divine favoritism; moreover, there are cases when God favors man because of their righteous acts and there are cases when God arbitrarily favors man. In other words, there is earned favoritism and arbitrary favoritism. Earned favoritism is a reward of good acts, a consequence of obeying the word of God. The Old…
