Parables of Jesus

just thought that Jesus was a nice story and didn 't know if she believed He is real. I so love Jesus, He is so faithful! I was able to tell her that He knew her doubts and fears and gave her a prophetic word from the Lord. Love so overwhelmed her that she began to weep and from that day has continued to seek out her Savior. Another time I was attempting to teach a business English course but the guys just wanted to talk about Jesus. I overheard one of the men repeating "Jesus Christ" so…

A fair reading of Thornton provides a clear picture of an unconquered king, voluntarily accepting the message of salvation through Jesus Christ and submitting to the will of God in baptism. Thornton affirms, “Since Kongo converted to Christianity of its own free will, the shape and structure of the Church and its doctrines were determined as much by Kongo as by Europeans.” (pg. 148). This voluntary conversion occurred when the king and his ruling nobles were baptized in 1491. Thornton asserts…

Temptation is like the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. It has the appeal of something good, but when toyed with, it’s actually far more dangerous and evil than we expected. The lure of darkness is tempting, enticing, like the aroma in a chocolate factory. But how do we deal with temptation? In order to know how to deal with temptation, one must know exactly what temptation is. Temptation is defined as a desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. Some are tempted with…

free zone. Jesus do not want us to judge each other (Matthew 7:1-6, Luke 6:37). As a teacher, I should be able to teach students how to respect each other.

It is important to think about servant-leadership, and the best example is Jesus. In…

rebirth in Jesus Christ is the very essence of my understanding of Christianity. I prayed for purpose and asked Jesus what He wanted me to do? What He wanted me to know and where He wanted me to go? His answer, I will show you. My ultimate goal is to listen for God’s guidance and to stay focus. I started in the back of the church with a childlike mind, in others words I humble myself before God. I had to relearn every step. The only concept I repeated in my head over and over was Jesus loves…

Lament / complaining prayer is to bring our sorrow to God. As Bill says, “the lament prayer serves to articulate the problem that has arisen for the prayer. Characteristic in this articulation are hard and accusing questions (e.g., “Why?”) mediating complaints that something terribly wrong has occurred in the life of the suppliant.” Laments are common in the Old Testament but they are not common in the modern day church of the West. The modern day church forgets the necessity of lament over…

The hyena is sin that makes its weak victims wither away to nothing, and the flying fish represent the manna that was needed in order for the people of Israel to survive. Richard Parker needed to be served, and he suffered and disappeared just like Jesus Christ. Mamaji, Pi’s close friend whom he viewed as family, tells Yann Martel that Pi has a story that will make him believe in God. Through the religious symbolism and ideas scattered throughout the entirety of Pi’s story, it makes what he was…
