Samaritans

“The Air I Breathe” by Louie Giglio is a great book explaining biblical worship, its scriptural foundations, and its further implications in life. Right from chapter 1, he begins with stating that everyone, not just Christians or even the religious are worshipers, but instead it is everyone that worships. With all that we are in every moment, we are worshiping, and with this understanding he explores various topics pertaining to worship. Today I will provide a discussion and analysis on a few of…

Confiscation Of The Gun Legislation In this country we are at the point of Gun control legislation, that the government is trying to save lives, but also putting the lives of citizens at risk by making it even more ridiculous on obtaining a gun legally, and in turn making the law abiding citizen turn down the route that the criminal would to obtain their guns. Sadly, our government is tirelessly still trying to construct the process and creating it more difficult and to take away that much more…

Following this scripture Jesus gives the parable of the Samaritan man taking care of a wounded man. The Jews and the Samaritans had great hate for each other. The fact that this Samaritan man cared for this Jewish man is incredible example of whom and what nurses should be. As a nurse I have encountered several people in which their lifestyles and beliefs are completely…

The amount of food that is wasted in restaurants is not something many people think about, but 70 billion pounds of food are wasted in the United States every year, and restaurants can produce around 150,000 pounds of garbage per year. One in seven Americans are food insecure and have limited access to nutritious food. A solution to this problem is to become aware of how to reduce food waste and donate food to reduce hunger. Donating food to the food shelters is not something new, and many…

The Puritan culture of the late 17th century was a harsh one based on nowadays rituals. They were overly religious and believed that god would inflict his wrath on those that didn’t believe or even on his own followers, just to test their devotion. This idea is used as a jeremiad to push forward their beliefs that God is the utmost one to care for, even over their kin. This came with the frightening ideas of Satan, witchcraft, and the Hell beneath them. “God is dreadfully provoked, his…

mix of excitement and stress. The sleepless nights that lead up to the event were not helping to settle my emotions. As part of my preparation I had to decide what to wear. This decision was something that I planned long in advance. “And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing, he's getting ready for the show” (Dylan) One of the most important parts of the show were the last minute preparations, these include dressing and assembling all of the small pieces. My second semester started with the planning…

picking up another man. While some may argue that they’re an equal amount of people bringing about disaster and misery, there are enough people bettering our world to prove Colin wrong. Some examples of this are Red Cross, Peace Core, and good Samaritans. The cross is an amazing organization that sends people to better lives of other people. They provide aid to people affected by natural disaster. The Red Cross is made up of people trying to better the lives of others in miserable situations.…

victim to a suitable location with good escape routes and few witnesses. The carjacker will crash into the back of your vehicle at low speed and "bump" you with enough force to make you believe a traffic accident had just occurred. Beware of the Good Samaritan. Typically, the drivers of both vehicles pull over, stop, and get out discussing the damage. At this point the carjacker robs you of your vehicle, its’ contents, and drives away. The carjacker's car gets driven away by the accomplice.…

others because not for self-righteous, but serving other is the right thing to do and while I serve, I should truly treat them with love. This idea continued to enforce on me when I read a parable from the bible, The “Second mile” and the “Good Samaritan”. These two stories have one common goal, to serve anyone unconditionally with kindness and full of generosity and hope.…

In matters of faith theology matters. I believe in the tribune God -- God the creator, Jesus the redeemer, and the Holy Spirit who helps us to “fix our eyes on Jesus” (Heb. 12:2). I am committed to Christocentric theology because I am convinced that it is “the Christ event” -- the act of incarnation, his life and teachings and his death and resurrection (not the idiosyncratic cultural, social or political values) -- which serves as the light that illumines our path to faithful discipleship and…
