Isaiah

diminished, the shrill from the sneakers gliding on the polished hardwood weakened and the tension from the crowd grew with time dwindling and the gap increasing. I was zoned out to the atmosphere, as if I was trapped in a bubble of arguing thoughts. ‘Isaiah! Isaiah focus!’ Coach blew into his whistle incessantly. Looking more stunned than ever I struggled to snap back into reality. ‘Yeah coach I’m…

clothing. It was for me the day of vengeance; the year for me to redeem had come (Isaiah 63:1-4, New International Version). Interestingly, God uses His power to rescue His people, not to destroy them. Additionally, Isaiah also conveys God’s tenderness as a father who comforts his frightened child, “For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you’” (Isaiah 41:13, NIV). The prophet Zephaniah also communicates these characteristics, “The…

Sports are what make Michigan a notable state, so when people think of us, they think of our state they think of our great college teams, and outstanding national teams… minus the Lions. The story of the pistons begins with a man named Fred Zollner. Fred was born in Little Falls, Minnesota in 1901. Zollner Corporations; formed in 1912, was a tier-one supplier of pistons to major companies including Ford, General Motors, John Deere, International Harvester [Now Navistar], and Outboard Maine.

the best blessing I could ever receive. December 31, 1998 at 3o'clock in the morning I went into labor, I was 15 years old. It wasn't all that bad, at least not like I expected it to be, 10 hours later I had a beautiful, healthy son, we named him Isaiah Solomon Valde. I was so in love with him, I didn't want him to leave my sight! I wanted to capture everything and hold it in my mind and heart forever. The first couple of months were hectic! Taco wasn't coming home at night, I was running out of…

ancestors in bondage in Egypt. Their worship was said to be hollow and once again the people began to worship Baal. It was during this time that four prophets emerged to try and get their people to return to God—Amos and Hosea in the North, and Isaiah and Micah in the South. The prophets railed against these social and economic injustices that had not only become unbearable to the people, but also unacceptable to God. They also…

Isaiah was a prophet who lived in 739 BC during the reign of Kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah in the southern kingdom of Judah,who wanted to bring peace to the Hebrew people.The Assyrians were attacking Israel. Judah became allies with the Assyrians so they wouldn’t be attacked while there was bribery going on because Judah was having to pay the assyrians to protect them.

Then the Old Spice man was on a horse. The Old spice commercials have been a huge advertisement/internet sensation since they aired it in the 2010 super bowl match. Since then the company has greatly grown with its comedic commercials featuring actor Isaiah Mustafa (old spice man) that can walk on water, bake a gourmet cake in the kitchen he built with his own hands and then swan dive into a Jacuzzi on a motorcycle. The first commercial by Old Spice was “The…

Have you ever heard your parents laugh at your dreams? I was furious when they laughed at my goal of making it to the NBA. It’s like having your best friend betray you for no reason. At first I was confused as to why they would laugh, but I started to think about this one thing. They think that because they have never played sports and that they are short that I will never be tall enough to play. There were so many emotions racing through me at this point. I almost had to walk out of the…

condemnation for those who live in Christ and repent of their sins. If we admit our guilt He is just to forgive. He also tells us that we will harvest what we have planted. (Hosea 5:15) (1 John 1:9) (Romans 8:1) (John 14:5) (Psalm 97:10) (Psalm 5:4) (Isaiah 59:2) (Galatians 6:7) (Numbers 32:23) Can God sin? I believe God can not sin. He is perfect and it is not in His nature to sin. In hebrews it tells us that it is impossible for God to tell a lie. We can trust in Him and know he is always…

The nation of Israel chosen by God to be a blessing for the entire world became divided and corrupt shortly after the death of King David. They lost sight and focus of God in the worship of idols, rejection and disobedience to God. The three major sins of Israel and Judah revealed in l and 2 Kings is moral corruption, social injustice, and idolatry.
