McEachern has no time for fun games and he believes in no individuality. (Themes, Motifs, & Symbols). He teaches the young Joe Christmas religion by putting the fear of god into him; oftentimes Mr. McEachern would whip young Christmas until he could recite from the Bible; “I make no doubts that with us he will grow up to fear God and abhor idleness and vanity despite his origins.” (Faulkner, p. 504). Moreover,…

to keep God at the center of everything we do” (p. 196). After careful examination of this statement in relation to my heart and mind, I was redirected to the fundamentals of the Gospel, which allowed me to recognize that I was generating just another checklist. Since my aim is to truly pursue God and engage in a relationship with Him, I concluded that my rule of life should be more indicative of mapping out a journey. Therefore, I ultimately decided to dub my plan as my pathway to God,…

know that God answered my prayers to approve my church loan, and that He did not answer my prayer to heal my body which has been sickened. You also know that my update from Monday was filled with sorrow and hurt but all the while I knew the Holy Spirit was telling me that God is in control. I received so much encouragement from emails, phone calls and comments and I am so very truly thankful for everyone that has kept me and my family in their prayers. I wanted to let you know that Yes, God is…

came to symbolizes human vanity and self-reliance apart from God. Ironically, this tale immediately precedes Abraham 's migration, a journey that links great accomplishments with trust and obedience to God. In the beginning, when God created humankind in his own image, he saw humanity 's potential for ingenuity and independence. God then sent an angel to confuse human communication with many different languages, thereby revealing God as the true source of every cultural, scientific, social,…

Knowing that darkness is a master of lies (John 8: 44), I said, “Will that stand as truth before the living God?” The spirit said, “No, there are others.” “Why did you tell him that you fool?” a second voice asked the first! A discussion in the spirit world between these two started but ended abruptly as I continued, “In the name of Jesus and by the finger of the Living God, I pry you lose and command you to break your hold in this person’s life. Go now to the place appointed for you by…

Tammy Vazquez Professor Hannah Ellenburg THEO 104-B45 LUO 6 March 2017 Biblical Worldview Essay Doctrine is the foundation on which faith is built. Belief in doctrine means that I know that everything created by God is sacred and is necessary in establishing my biblical truth. That belief in Christ means that I know Him, what He has done, and what He has promised. It is also important for me to know and live my own biblical truth of who I am and what I believe as it will determine where I spend…

Ever since the fall of man, sin has penetrated through every area of a person’s life. Christ made a way of escape for this sin when he died on the cross and rose from the dead. Although Christ has provided a way of escape, we cannot experience complete freedom from sin until we are joined with Christ either by dying physically or when the rapture comes. We are able to choose not to sin, but the effects of sin will still affect us whether that is through our personal sin, sin of others, or…

bridge between Christianity and athletes. I can be a witness to people from different schools that God is real and that it is life-changing to have a relationship with Him. This thought is backed up by 1 John 4:4, which says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (KJV). This verse is the fuel that keeps me motivated that God is using me, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to do His work and grow while here…

also the last Sunday of the church calendar year. On this Sunday, we are reminded that, as Christians, we are subjects of Christ and of Christ alone; that Christ’s power transcends and supplants all other powers that vie after our lives. And, what God has in store for the new heavens and new earth is being realized in the Church today, as we sit under the reign of Christ, our King! So, this morning we are going to be looking at a rich passage! There is no way I will be able to address…

and hone in on our core values? In the book I am writing about preparing for marriage, I hit on the topic of identity, which is one way to identify your core values. I believe that knowing who you are at the core level involves your relationship with God. When you discover that you are God’s own child and that He loves you with everlasting love, you discover much about your mission in life and calling. This is the beginning of staying true to yourself. Here are a few principles I’ve…
