I made my children into little soldiers thinking it was all for God. However, God never wanted me to make my children into soldiers that people could talk about how great they were. God wanted me to love and know my children at…

Psalms 8 was a very straightforward piece and fairly easy to shuffle through. This directly influenced my reaction and decision to do this piece. I figured that it would be a simple piece to rewrite, plus it was short enough that this would be a doable task. My initial reaction to this chapter was a sense of impression.

future. However, as the Wesleyan Theologian, Dr. Ted Campbell points out, the Scriptures are their own best interpreters and unclear passages should be understood according to the meaning of clear passages (Campbell, 64). For example, during the Passover meal, Jesus tells Peter that before a rooster crows, he will deny Jesus three times (Matt. 26:34) and a few hours later that is what happens (26:75). Jesus also foretold the destruction of the Temple (Lk. 21:6) some forty years before it…

For example, the propaganda against the Jews included telling the Germans that Jews kidnapped children for Passover because they needed the blood of a small Christian child. I have heard many stereotypes that the English have for other groups. Some common ones that I have heard are that they stereotype the Spanish as being poor, as the Germans being hardworking…
