a great increase from three decades earlier. At that time there were only a miniscule amount of Christians inhabiting this land, to the point that the belief in Jesus Christ almost didn’t exist in the land. Indeed, things have now changed. It can now be said, that not only has Christianity increased, but indeed the Pentecostal movement has overlapped that of evangelistic Christianity. We then look at…

Board of Education in 1954 to late 1968, Niebuhr published articles and editorials, and held public conversations interpreting the Civil Rights Movement’s ongoing actions to abolish juridical segregation and anti-black discrimination. As with the movement itself, these writings and discourses exhibit moments of optimism, celebration, misfire, disappointment, and reassessment. Niebuhr engages in what might called moral publicity, reflecting on many of the landmark and tragic events in ethical and…

our laws and statues by which our nation is governed can be traced back to times when our nation was experiencing a season of spiritual awakening of Revival. Think of The Festival of Light movement in the 1960 's with Mary Whitehouse and she was so ridiculed and lampooned, but it developed into the Care Movement. Israel was blessed by Almighty God revealing His Word and laws and decrees, and when there are no godly laws to guide us, people cast of restraint and do whatever they choose to do.…

Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church is a book written by Thomas Johnson. Johnson wrote this book to challenge taking the Luke-Acts Christianity into contemporary Christianity. The challenge is that the church would have an ear to hear its prophetic calling. The overall purpose of the book is to offer a scriptural foundation for the ministry of the church so that it is grounded and coherent in the ministry of Jesus. Johnson argues that Luke and Acts, presents Jesus and the apostles in terms of…

When reading this week's lecture there were a lot of examples all of these movements. I do believe that with the changing times and the introduction of christianity it forced very difficult times on the native americans people. In the beginning the native americans were in a resistance movement, but really who could blame them. The whites had come from somewhere far away and started to slaughter their people. Then they would take their food that their family members had hunted and lived off of…

New Prophecy The Montanist movement began in the latter half of the second century around 160 by Montatius in a Christian church in Phrygia, Asia Minor. It is believed that, while in the house church, Montanist fell into a deep trace when the Spirit started speaking through him and he was helpless to resist it. Within ten years, the Montanist movement had attracted many followers include Priscilla and Maximilla, both of whom were active leaders in the movement. By 170, Montanism had spread…

wishful thought and that it is Lewis’s version of heaven (236). C.S. Lewis masterfully tells a fictional children’s story while weaving in elements of his faith. Aslan’s divinity, sacrifice, and resurrection are clear similarities between him and Jesus Christ. Likewise, the White Witch’s evil and her dictatorial rule clearly show the link between her and Satan. These two major characters play huge roles in conveying Lewis’s message and in helping to present The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe…

non-judging towards others. I think that may be the biggest reason that people have a problem with Evangelism. When you hear opinions of the negative side of Evangelism, it seems that it brings out the hypocrites in a way, because they say no one other than Jesus can condemn you to hell or promise you heaven where as the Evangelists seem to believe that your lack of belief is what condemns you, the people fighting Evangelism are being just as judgmental. Or so it would…
