already obtained the port before Sweden had formally yielded it and began to build on it. Although the marshy location was detrimental, Peter considered it perfect because ships could travel the Neva River into the Baltic sea, which lead to the West; and he named the city St. Petersburg after his patron saint. Due to the swampy nature of the selected area, establishing a city was difficult. Due to this, Peter ordered thousands of serfs…

Introduction Today I would like to draw your attention to 2 Scriptures in the Bible, the first one is 1 Thessalonians 5:17, which simply says: Pray without ceasing. And the second one is 1 Peter 5:7 which says: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I asked you to draw your attention on these two verses because I would like for you to remember them, not just while we talk here today butI would hope that these two scriptures stay in our minds and hearts every day.

Process Paper Understanding this year's theme, taking a stand in history, I wished to focus on a revolution. Now, there have been many revolutions throughout the course of history, all having separate causes and repercussions, and all having an effect on national or global history. Through extensive research, one uprising stood out to me, The Russian Revolution. The politics and ideas of imperial Russia have long fascinated me, and I’ve always wanted to dig deeper into the rich…

I think it is valuable to study the historical Jesus for my own life and my ministry. This would help me reflect and act like Christ. For it is “not only a matter of following Christ with one's whole heart — for this is required of every disciple — but of living and expressing this by conforming one's whole existence to Christ in an all-encompassing commitment which foreshadows the eschatological perfection” (Vita Consecrata16). Jesus is my Bridegroom. It is regrettable to me that the Jesus the…

to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Celebration of Halloween was extremely limited in colonial New England because of the rigid Protestant…

Alanna Allen 10/2/15 Period 1 1 Thess. Background 1 Thessalonians is written by the apostle Paul. No one really argues about his authorship due to him referring to himself throughout his letter. Some critics attempt to state that Paul is indeed not the author but failed (BKC.1 Thess p.690). He often used three first person plural pronouns when referring to himself or Silas and Timothy (MSB 1 Thess p.1841). Paul and Silas first went to preach in Berea but once the…

The scholars in the video question that Jesus was a humble carpenter because of evidence they discovered through research which contradict this. These scholars thought that Jesus was thriving in a sophisticated urban environment that would have brought with it all the diversity of the Roman Empire; this speculation was brought upon the fact that the social rankings at this time were predominantly based on the sophistication and education. Proven through the bible, Jesus was a an intellectual,…

The Reformation period of Tsar Alexander II’s reign stapled him in Russian history as the “Tsar-Liberator”. The Emancipation of Serfs, and the Zemstvo reform had a major positive impact on Russia in both economic and political ways. Through the scope of historical perspective, Alexander II is deserving of the title “Tsar-Liberator” for making great advancements in Russia even when it opposed prior Russian culture and norms. The Emancipation of Serfs was the boldest of all of Alexander II’s…
