The use of identifiers like “Hispanic” or “Latino” has been loosely used by governmental agencies in the United States, in hopes to capture a proper census on populations of Spanish and Latin decent. Yet over time, many have opposed a singular identification in order to maintain heritage based on individual country of origin. Choudhuri, Santiago-Rivera & Garrett (2012) note that there is a complexity in the variety of dimensions in which a Latino individual affiliates with in an ethnic group,…

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. I believe that God is actively involved in life thru the Holy Spirit. As Christ followers, there is a desire to please God by showing His love and kindness to others. It is by Christ’s example that sets us apart from the world. As of now I do now know exactly what my…

The true gospel, for all who are saved, it is the epitome of graciousness and joy in our lives. For those who are lost in darkness, a false gospel they have chosen blinds their eyes. And this where biblical counseling and the true gospel intersect. When a person chooses a gospel to believe in, he or she is choosing to define what he or she sees as needs, how those needs will be met in their life and the way in which he or she can go about having those needs met. This is called confessional…
