How bad do you want it? A cry for justice in an unjust world. Psalm 35 Debra Sanders Clark Have you ever been wrongly accused of something? Better yet have you ever made mistakes? We all have! God did not create us perfect although he made us perfectly in his image. We are like him, but we have faults. David sinned and made mistakes just like all of us. But he recognized God in the midst of his troubles. He knew that without God he would perish. Therefore, he chased after him. He chased…

I do not believe God created something that was imperfect. God is, was, and will always be perfect. Man was created in the likeness of God. Genesis 1:26 (NLT) reads, “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” Everything God created was perfect, including mankind. Sin caused the many imperfections, pain, and suffering people endure. He knew that sin would tempt His perfect creation; therefore, He paid for all of our sins. He endured the beating so that we would not…

In the two texts “sinners in the hands of an angry god” by Jonathan Edwards and “The Ministers Black Veil” by Howthorn, they are very blunt and religious, also show extreme emotion. Edwards stated “sinners will go to to hell if they don’t repent from sinning” showing he felt strongly that sinning sent you straight to hell. Edwards text seems to be stronger towards the reader and more serious about getting his point across. Furthermore both authors have points they try to get across through a…

of painting is mainly composed of the color brown, which tends to represent God’s earthly domain. This empowers the idea that God is all encompassing. Furthermore the images painted show the cause and effect in the damnation of men and the select salvation of a few, this provides a persuasive and logical explanation that convinces the viewers to adhere to Johnathan Edwards passionate sermon. The composition allowed for a creative way to encompass the imagery found in Sinners in the Hands of an…

“God’s grace is free and offered without merit; however, human beings have been granted freedom by God and can refuse his grace” (Calvinism Compared to Wesleyan Perspectives). The offer is for everyone, but not everyone will receive it as they may choose to resist the Spirit’s call. “The Holy Spirit can only draw to Christ those who allow him to have his way with them. Until the sinner responds, the Spirit cannot give life. God’s grace, therefore, is not invincible; it can be, and often is,…

into another, of his initiation into a new unknown life. (Dostoevsky, 505)” Dostoevsky is exemplifying through Raskolnikov’s constant debate over his religious affiliations, and his ultimate succumbence to religion, that religion is the only true salvation to be free from guilt. The final scene where Raskolnikov confesses and accepts religion, is used by Dostoevsky in order to show that Raskolnikov’s suffering throughout the novel is able to be liberated once Raskolnikov is at his weakest state.…

Anne Broadstreet’s The Prologue is a poem that really catches one’s eye in aspects of life. Anne is one insecure woman and has self-doubting thoughts constantly. She also does not believe her work is good enough to be published. Anne shows her insecurity throughout the poem and specifically in the fourth stanza, “ Art can do much, but this maxim's most sure: A weak or wounded brain admits no cure.”(Bradstreet 111) This is simply saying art impresses her, but it cannot heal her “weak or wounded…

The overwhelming theme that O’Connor develops within the assigned stories of this collection is the ultimate hindrance between man and salvation (God), pride. This seemingly plays into another common theme of freedom. Characters throughout this collection seem to struggle within themselves; some with good intentions and many with severe ignorance to their own hypocrisy. Starting with “Everything that Rises Must Converge”, we see Julian and the struggle with his mother. She is a devout racist,…
