Hope and Glory

Hobbes in identifying the three causes of quarrel, states that Glory is “for Reputation… [and]…for trifles, as a word, a smile, a different opinion, and any other sign of undervalue, either direct in their persons, or by reflection in their kindred, their friends, their nation, their profession, or their name.” At first glance, it appears as though Hobbes’ definition of Reason stumbles upon a problem when it comes to man. Yet, Glory, if viewed through a different lens, can be advantageous to…

shook by the release of the song, “Alive With the Glory of Love” by Say Anything, with a catchy beat and an interesting backstory it quickly gained popularity and resonated with many listeners especially myself. The story of this song tells about the lead singer Max Bemis’s grandparents who were survivors of the holocaust and how through the challenging times they experienced they both found each other and let love be their escape and lasting hope.

Jesus is truly God manifested in the flesh. Jesus is clearly understood to be the only wise God and our Savior revealed to Jude chapter 1 vs 25. Here, Jude ascribes to Jesus attributes befitting of God himself glory, majesty, dominion, and power.

important in everyday life. Many base their laws and ethics on Ancient Greek. Greek implemented their names morals of intelligence, glory, loyalty and hospitality to shape their own culture.

clue to the author’s confidence. The word “vanity” appears in the book of Ecclesiastes more than any other book in the Old Testament. Hope is something that is thrown out a lot in Ecclesiastes.

day I had my first football game. I had gone from catching touchdowns during recess to playing offensive guard and defensive tackle. I was no longer with my friends, but with a random group of kids who also shared the same aspirations for gridiron glory as I did.…

Brown has designed Thula to represent the working class of America, and the self-doubt that once haunted Joe so heavily. Her appearance is tired, sickly to represent how many Americans were feeling at the time, and to show that many still did not have hope for the future. Brown describes her in a manner as well that makes the reader feel resentment towards her even more, and makes her an easier target for the reader to direct their animosity at her for all the pain she has put Joe through.…

biblical counselor to gently lead those in crisis toward Christ and help them to see God’s hand at work in their circumstances. Regardless of the type of loss, rather it be a loved one or personal property; there is always a place for healing and hope found in the word of God.
