Psalm 23

12:10 we see that a righteous man regards the life of his beast. The righteous are compassionate to all God 's creatures since, in doing so, they come closest to emulating the God who cares not for oxen only, but for all mankind too The Book of Job 5:23 describes a day when humankind will be at peace with nature: “For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.” In addition Isaiah 11:6-9 expressively portrays how the animals will…

God wants to give more things to us. The heart of God is much bigger than the heart of ours that wishes to receive blessings. King David wrote in Psalm 30:5, says, “For his anger is but for a moment; his favour is for a lifetime.Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” When people brought their family/friend/neighbor deaf person to Christ with faith that Jesus can heal,…

created a moral universe in which the law of cause-and-effect is a certainty. Morality includes a person’s standard of conduct or daily practice. The Bible tells us to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect, Matthew 5:48. On the other hand Romans 3:23 reminds us that man falls short of the glory of God. While only God is holy and separated from all evil, we as humans are created with a conscience which allows us to distinguish right from wrong. Additionally, we are given a set of…

It was another moment of transition for Job in his constantly dynamic thinking, only to be interrupted by Bildad who failed even more miserably than before to make a meaningful contribution. Job pounced on Bildad’s brief allusion to God’s peace-making presence in the heavens (25:2). After a sarcastic jab about how helpful Bildad’s counsel was, Job unleashed a vibrant description of what God actually does in those heavenly realms. Some of his discourse described the visible heavenly realms – the…

If God is good, why evil? If God is all-good (omnibenevolent), all-powerful (omnipotent), and all-knowing (omniscient), why does evil occur? These are the questions most suffering people ask concerning God. Most of the time, we blame God for our pain, sorrow, grief, and distress that happen to us. The question that come in our mind is why me? Last Wednesday, I was on call. When the nurse called me, she informed me about a woman who was lying on the hospital bed while her daughter is…

The Realistic Creation Story Growing up going to a Catholic school, and being a very religious person I have studied, and read The Bible, I have gone as far as tattooing Psalm 23:4 on my body. So, you could say that I have a personal connection to what is written in The Bible. Saying that, from as young as I can remember to my age now, the creation story in Genesis has been a story that is repeated often, but the creation story has always confused me a great deal. The reason being, is due to…

James Fowler developed a theory that explores six stages of spiritual development. The last stage, universalizing faith is characterized by an ability to overcome specific belief systems and “experience a sense of connection with all beings” (Balswick, King, & Reimer, 2005, p.272). It is also characterized by a commitment to overcoming division. This stage of spiritual development is something I desire. When I consider what inside of me hinders me from operating from this place it is usually…

world, there is only one place that God stakes His claim as property ownership. That place is Israel. As God states, “The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers" (Leviticus 25:23) Israel can be first referenced in the book of Genesis dating since the Torah. “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspringc I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him” (Genesis 12:7). And…

Death Death is a part of the everyday procedure when it comes to living creatures. When a living creature dies, many feel sad or even disappointed, while others tend to celebrate the life they had with the person or even their own pet. Death can best be described as when the heart and mind stop working and the living is no longer able to take a breath. For many, death can be a traumatic chain of events within their lives as people tend to not know how to handle death or the death came…

George Frideric Handel is one of the best composers of the Baroque era. He is best known for being the master of oratorios. G.F. Handel was born in Halle, Germany on February 23, 1685. He was known as being a “boy genius” of his time (Sherrane). “Handel was very brilliant in several different musical works, including operas, oratorios, and concertos grossos. In the late Baroque period he combined German, French, Italian, and English musical styles in his operas (40), oratorios (20), and…
