"Creativity has long been recognized as a powerful force in shaping human society and driving progress and knowledge" (Mishra & Henriksen, 2013, p. 10). Creativity is, and always has been, a greatly discussed topic. Recently, it has become even more emphasized than it has been in the past. At a time creative thinking was mostly left to the arts, but now creative thinking has a renewed interest. Creativity is now considered important across the board. It is not only important in the arts, but…
The Authentic Scripture In my understanding of the scripture, and its original form of the manuscripts, this is known as the inspired and infallible word of God. The Scripture is the product of the Holy Spirit divinely inspiring chosen men to write God’s desired message (2 Tim. 3:16-17 ESV). The bible holds the inspired words of God; it is consequently without error completely. The Scripture should only be used as an authentic source of God’s authority in all aspects of one’s life. The word…

Who Killed Brenda and Erica Lafferty Some people call it religious fanatics, some people call it narcissistic characteristics. As individuals, we put the blame on the person who actually committed the crime. Yet, in reality, so many things add up altogether that resulted in a horrendous bloody crime. Jon Krakauer mentions this in his book, “Under the Banner of Heaven” that the murder of Brenda and Erica Lafferty were the result of so many things, events, and people adding up to the horrendous…
The line spanned street after street, it seemed. I waited for what felt like hours, watching the line ahead dwindle as the Barnes and Nobles workers funnelled us into the store, prodding the line up three flights until we reached that lone table, stacked high with bright orange books whose spines and covers read, in black matte letters, THE GLIMMER by RICHARD DUKE. I’d already read it twice now, bought three copies and lined them on the bookshelf in my shitty little apartment living room neatly,…
I needed much help at this point to battle the witch, demons, and Satan. I had to get spiritual leaders strong in the faith and word to overcome these attacks on my mind and soul. I did intensive spiritual counseling to arm myself to fight these enemies of God our Heavenly Father. I was able to put on the Armour of God that I was lacking before. I was able to successfully rebuke all these enemies once they were identified. Since I was in the situation and confused, it was difficult for me…
Her sin has determined the letter to be worn on her bosom. As a seamstress the letter took a lot of time, patience and skill to make and she wont take it off because that letter has a price. Quote 5: "But there is a fatality, a feeling so irresistible and inevitable that it has the force of doom, which almost invariably compels human beings to linger around and haunt, ghostlike, the spot where some great and marked event has given the color to their lifetime; and still the more irresistibly,…
Jubilation for Victory in War: If we start by surveying the secular uses of the verb and its noun, we will see just what kind of enthusiasm we are dealing with. Isaiah compares the gladness that Israel will feel at the coming of the Messiah to the jubilation (yagilu) that warriors have when they divide the plunder (Isa. 9:3b). Habakkuk also uses the word to describe the joy that the Babylonians will have (yagil) when they capture the Hebrews like fish in a net (Hab. 1:15). Zephaniah extends…
