Going to the Labor Day Race has become a tradition for My Papa to take us Grand boys to for the past 3 years, we have went to the race but it was in Atlanta this would be our first time at Darlington. When you walk into the gate you are filled with so much history. This track is an older track it has been around since 1950, that is when the first Labor Day race was scheduled at the raceway. Darlington Raceway’s historical importance, as the original paved superspeedway in NASCAR, is…

The movie, The Gospel of John, follows just one gospel: The Gospel of John. The Gospel of John (film) follows exactly what the scripture says. When I looked up the movie on Netflix, I found that there are also several versions of the movie to accompany different versions of the Bible, including the New International Version, and the New King James Version. However, even though the narration of the movie follows the scripture directly, there were some scenes that were added in. For example, John…

worker”. The son’s initial reaction to get his money and leaves depicts a lost sinner, but after he realizes he needs help and is is in trouble he becomes a repenting and remorseful sinner. The Prodigal Son can be closely related to a passage in Matthew 18. This comes from verses 12-14 and discusses a small parable about a lost sheep. The story states that if a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and he loses one, he will go out and search for the one missing sheep. If he finds the sheep, he will…

the accounts of Matthew and Mark. To begin, in the Gospel of Matthew the words have to be read more slowly and capturing the meaning of the stories than in the Gospel of Mark. Second, the Gospel of Matthew focused more on the teachings of Jesus than on his actions in Gospel of Mark. Third, in my perspective the portrait of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew is a teaching savior whereas to in the Gospel of Mark just does things. To sum it up, as I do not think that the Gospel of Matthew is better…

encountering Jesus in the scripture, I learned that Jesus’ mission was to proclaim that the kingdom of God is at hand and to summon people to reform their lives. Also, he proclaims that the kingdom of God is “among you, not “within you” (Harrington and Matthews 21). He was bringing the kingdom of God to existence on earth through His preaching and actions. He had set a “Edenic Model” for His people (Levine, video). I’m compelled to restate the beginning passage from Gaudium Et…

of God that can greatly inspire and influence them into taking the steps necessary to secure a future in the Kingdom of God. A popular quote from the parable (although not in the Gospel of Mark) of the wedding “ Many are called, few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14 (NAB)), certainly applies to the Kingdom of God and is still very relevant to Christians of today. In fact, everyone is sent an invitation to take initiative to secure a future in the Kingdom of God seeing that God provides every single…

summary, the Gospel of Matthew, is known to be the first book in the New Testament…The beginning of the chapter is discussed about the genealogy, and birth, whereas towards the middle-end it mentions the baptism and the early life of Jesus Christ. In other words, it tells us the story of Jesus and his teachings. As we read on, we can see that in Matthew, Jesus performs many miracles, and shares a handful of parables to make his point. Beside the point, I believe the Gospel of Matthew was to…

When it comes to people in the Bible being like Jesus. My mind immediately goes to one person. This man became like Jesus in such a short amount of time. This man’s name is Stephen, and this is his story. In acts 6:1-7, we see that the church is growing rapidly and an issue is brought to the attention of the Apostles that the food rations were not given out fairly. So the 12 Apostles got together and they gathered the people and said get seven people from among you, with good reputations, wisdom…

The scholars in the video question that Jesus was a humble carpenter because of evidence they discovered through research which contradict this. These scholars thought that Jesus was thriving in a sophisticated urban environment that would have brought with it all the diversity of the Roman Empire; this speculation was brought upon the fact that the social rankings at this time were predominantly based on the sophistication and education. Proven through the bible, Jesus was a an intellectual,…
