sit down, and there was the young man’s mother. Our discussion began with the concern surrounding her son and ended with her asking for the help only God could give for her to be the best mom she could be by becoming a Christian and allowing the Holy Spirit to direct her from within. She, in turn, shared her experience with her son who asked Jesus into his life and invited me to baptize him by immersion as a public declaration of his decision. As he came up out of the water after a most simple…

loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Discuss your reaction to Feuerbach 's ideas about religion (pages 360-362). I found Feuerbach’s ideas about religion very strange to me, because I am a very religious person and I believe that God created all of us, not the other way around. As Feuerbach explains it he believes that, us humans, created the image of God in our minds. I agree with him to a certain extent when he talks about how we are divided into two selves. The two selves that make up our actually selves are- the way we are-…

unique among the seven undisputed Pauline letters. Paul opens this letter by announcing that he is an apostle of Jesus Christ, not by human appointment or authority, but by divine revelation. He is being utilized as a direct instrument of the Holy Spirit, consequently, there is no need for any other human involvement.

He lived in the left wild, ate beetle and wild nectar and lectured an abnormal message. John the Baptist knew his fundamental purpose for existing. He unmistakably comprehended that God had separated him for a reason. Through God's bearing, John the Baptist tested the general…

Matthew 5:3 (AMP) reminds me that I am most “spiritually prosperous” when I am broken and “poor in spirit”. Dr. John Coe’s lecture series opened my eyes to my fallenness and God used his words to reveal my belief in moralism; my own moral failure. Embracing my brokenness became a joy for me once I understood that nothing I could ever do would accomplish what needed done in my heart and life.
