like mine. Could that mean that he secretly loves me more than my brothers? I remembered how my father God told my brothers and me that his thoughts and ways were higher than ours. Which at first I didn’t understand because I was only a child. My father’s thoughts and ways are much higher than ours which meant it was impossible for anyone to comprehend or understand his mind since he was God…

between God and me becomes. It is my belief that not only are the children benefitting from our servitude but we are made better because of it. It helps us in our walk with the lord in so many ways. It allows us at least myself to pay more attention to God’s love (i.e. Mercy,…

use parables to describe the Kingdom? One of the most common topics for Jesus in the Gospels is the Kingdom of God. Through allegories, analogies and parables, the Gospel authors try to explain the nature, timing, and requirements of the Kingdom of God. Matthew most often refers to the “Kingdom of Heaven,” perhaps because of the Jewish custom of not saying the name of God, although Matthew is not consistent in this practice, occasionally using the term “Kingdom of God.” The consensus seems to…

The teaching of this doctrine furthered enveloped the kernel of Gospel ethics with a husk of intellectualism. “The Gospel is no theoretical system of doctrine or philosophy of the universe it is doctrine only as far as it proclaims the reality of God the Father.” (157).

focused on the gospel according to John 3:1-21. This is the area where John describes Jesus answering Nicodemus’ questions. Nicodemus is an educated Pharisee and misunderstands Jesus’ reply of “No one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again” and “No one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born of Water and the Spirit.” Nicodemus wonders how can someone be reborn. He is thinking reborn ( new birth and reborn are used interchangeably) in the literal sense where Carson…

The Jewish people recite prayers to God in order to individually show their appreciation and obedience to the Lord. The Shema is possibly the most integral prayer in Judaism. Recited once a day, hung inside the doorway of the entrance to a Jewish home and kept inside tefilla, prayer binding, the Shema is supposed to be remembered and kept sacred. (Fishbane 146) Most Jews, myself included, at one time or another had the Shema memorized. The importance of this prayer in Judaism come from words;…

It is unlikely that God gave us ‘reign’ to destroy his beautiful world. Nature is a project that as humans we need to protect and maintain. As humans, we need to enable God’s creation, the plants and animals, to flourish; ultimately glorify the image of God. Wright suggests that God gave humans dominion over creation in order to teach us what being made in God’s image is about. This lesson of sovereignty will teach us virtue.…
