My Denomination is Christian reformed, were similar to many others but yet we differ in many ways as well.Our denomination formed on the basis that people wanted and realized they need a reform in the Church.(What is Reformed?) We were originally part of the Roman Catholic Church,what after the time of the great split,had an extremely corrupted clergy and weren 't quite focusing on Christ anymore. People spoke up against the Church, but the Church did not change its ways seeing as how most…

Mexicans. They had someone they could rely on even though a Spanish coordinator was helping them. But, the pastor did a lot for them, loved them, considered them as his own family by giving them a place in his church and home. The Overnighters had much more privileged because they weren’t being criticized by their color or Ethnicities and the majority of whom came found a job. Also, the pastor lost his job by trying to help and protect the people that came in his town and this reflected upon his…

heart telling me “You need to get saved’’ “You need to get saved” and each time we would go to church and my Pastor ask if anyone would like to get right with God, I would want to raise up my hand so bad but I couldn’t and that’s what the devil wants, for you to to not get right with God. I felt God tugging at my heart for the longest time but it was hard for me to rise my hand when my pastor called for a altar…

In the 1700s during the Great Awakening hundreds of people were accepting Jesus Christ and becoming “born again”. During this time pastors were working to increase this number and convert more and more people. One of these pastors was Jonathan Edwards, who gave outstandingly intense persuasive sermons. In one of Mr. Edwards’s most famous sermons "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” he utilizes rhetorical devices pathos, logos, and ethos numerous times throughout the sermon to persuade the…

Ray Miller stood in front of the Pearly Gates, sighing with relief. He had finally made it to the top of the endless, winding marble stairs, taking in the soaring view while trying to catch his breath. The pastor pulled out an old piece of cloth from his pocket to meticulously rub his glasses and squinted at the imposing structure in front of him. His gaze followed the intricate etchings depicting the history of humanity, from the creation of Adam and Eve to the birth and death of Jesus and…

In the article Where Have All the Good Manners Gone?, Larry Greider, who is a pastor at the United Church of God, states that children of today’s generation are lacking in the proper manners and utilization of respect that is required to function in a civilized community. The author’s purpose in writing this article was to bring awareness to parents about how drastically different problems are for children of today’s generation compared to the mid-1900s, while making an emphasis on religion.…

sin in my life.” Pastor Jim was clearly angry. “How dare they? They are the ones with sin in their lives.” “Still, Pastor, the Lord hasn’t taken away my pain and failures.” “Listen Tank, the Lord won’t let you go through anything that you don’t have the weapons to overcome. In the Bible when things got too tough, the Lord showed up with the miraculous. Sometimes the rescue mission came at the last-minute. I’m sure you experienced that in the service.” “What do I have to do Pastor?” He hoped for…

There was playful banter between the pastor and the people in the pews. This went on for about 15 minutes or so. In all the catholic masses I’ve been to, there has been an introduction before the mass but it’s usually quite short with nothing coming from the pews. Following this introduction…

Shearer.session1.journal I have had a lot of experiences that have shaped my life over the last five years of my life. The first I would have to say is my rededication to Christ and then the call to the ministry. To start with the rededication of my life to Christ, it was shortly after my separation and I went through a period of time lost and without purpose. My parents had been trying to get me to start going to church again and I was hesitant at first. Soon after starting back to church I was…
