People tend to wear the label of Christianity, proclaiming their faith yet, staying put in the world, tending to only themselves. The books in the Bible of James and Colossians each describe the trials, faults, and temptations Christians would face in order to live by His name. Also the books say that the Lord 's unconditional love is needed to be returned to others through love…

The Bible may be the greatest book that was ever written: containing about forty authors, with five of those authors being apostles of Jesus Christ have written the gospel according to each’s own telling. This great book is the foundation of Christianity; although there are many different branches of Christianity the Bible is, or at least should be the foundation of the many branches of Christianity. As a Christian the Bible guides, and gives us power and strength in The Lord. Everyone should…

The True Story of the Whole World makes the Bible God’s one true story. This book summarizes the bible, and it influences others. The book is about taking God’s word and making it into one story that everyone could understand a lot easier. Reading this book gives a lot more understanding of the bible because whenever one would read the bible they would somewhat understand it, but at times they might get very confused.

It was a widely held belief that the frontier was open for the taking. A belief not only incorrect, but simply one of ignorance. Everell Flecher’s youthful imagination and inaccurate education in Hope Leslie is fractured and set straight by a single story. He learns from Magawisca, a captive Native American, that the frontier is made up of false images and stories and thus it has become this “imaginal place” (Schneekloth 210). Young Flecher was so caught up in what he thought was right that,…

As a believer in Christ, it is the root belief that God is actively involved in His creation. Even when mankind fell into sin, God made a plan to redeem his children by sending his Son Jesus to die on the cross for everyone’s sins.

It is by Christ’s example that sets us apart from the world. As of now I do now know exactly what my…

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”, Hebrews 11:1. What is an act of faith? According to Encarta Dictionaries, an act of faith is “an action motivated by a belief in something for which there is no concrete evidence.” You can express acts of faith in your everyday life.
