1.4. The ‘Theology of Encounter’ according to Pope Francis Christians should develop a ‘theology of encounter’. They can encounter God in the world specifically in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, and in other sacraments, in scripture, in the created universe, and in the community in which they live.

possible daughters went so far as to have towns of people in four chapters of the bible. There are other stories in the bible that could have easily been twisted through time of verbal teaching to make them more dramatic or godly. Take the walls of jericho for example, the people of israel come and besiege the city and by some twist of fate an earthquake shakes the walls of the city down. I find this easier to believe that than they marched around the walls and god brought them down. In my…

needs of the organization and others before their own personal needs. Dees addresses this as he relates the biblical story of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37, who came to the aid of a man who had been beaten and robbed while on his way to Jericho. Many professionals passed the man and offered no assistance, but the Good Samaritan stopped and assisted him. He also went a step further and paid an innkeeper to care for and feed the man until he made a full recovery (2013, pp. 68-71). This…

Sleep Logger Tri-Fold Problem: The problem we’re trying to solve is how people aren’t getting enough sleep at night which makes the person really tired in the morning, a.k.a. sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is the situation or condition of suffering from a lack of sleep. Sleep deprivation can be caused by many things, one of them being time.

The bible is more than just some make-believe story for people to believe in. The bible is a huge piece of art, written by those whom God found worthy. As we begin understanding the meaning embedded throughout the Old Testament, it is important to start from the beginning, before mankind. With the great power of God, He created the world in which we live today. In this creation He also created something exceptional, one man and one woman. As the story goes on we being to learn of the important…

The Japanese internment is a historical event that is often glossed over despite being the “first mass evacuation” in the United States entailing the removal of American civilians, namely 120,000 Japanese Americans, due to racial discrimination (Okubo, Introduction). The physical edifices of the ten internment camps located in the “remote desert and mountain areas” no longer exist; instead, all that remains are “pieces of concrete, pipes, and wire” (Introduction). As cameras and other “modes of…

God also says calls Joshua to go to Jericho and break down their wall. A commander of the Lord's army tells him to "March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around…

is seen as an outsider. However, as the story progresses, a change to Solomon occurs. “His hairy brethren rushed Solomon, but it was a halfhearted attack, and Solomon danced amongst them till they all fell dizzily to the ground, like the walls of Jericho. ‘Where did you learn to fight like that?’ I asked. ‘In the army,’ said Solomon” (Sinclair 342). Solomon’s shift from a weak boy to strong fighter exemplifies how he not only now has an identity, but that he has accepted specifically his Jewish…

I was around 30 years old. I was sleeping one day and then this weird dream occurred. But before I tell you what this dream was, I have to give you a little background on my story. See my country has been in oppression for as long as I can remember and like these people around me just cry out to God when it gets really bad, then when it gets better, they don’t change anything. The last “deliverer” we’ve had was this dude named Othniel. Anyways, so yeah, my people are now crying out to God again…
