Catherine Benincasa was raised as one of the younger of many siblings in a wealthy, pious home in Italy during the mid-1300s (Keifer). Half of Catherine’s siblings, including her twin sister, died of the Black Death, but Catherine was healthy and happy. Her parents called her Euphrosyne, which is Greek for “joyous” (Did You Know?). Catherine desired an intimate relationship with Jesus from an early childhood age and earnestly devoted herself to obeying and worshipping her Lord. She contributed…

Wicca Religion Pledging your life and your activities and all your consciousness to the Divine is the first decree not only of Wicca, but of life. Worshipping to Wiccan Gods and Goddesses we are tending to the One Divine Source. By a metamorphosis spiritual practice is to identify that the Divine lives in everything. Wicca religion understands the balance in nature that gives us life, death, and rebirth, comes from the heart and soul. Understanding and worship the old ones, by embracing the…

Knighthood in the Middle Ages As mostly anyone can tell, not much is recorded from history from back when writing was rare. However, much is understood about knights in the Middle Ages. For example, the excerpt of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, translated by Burton Raffel, portrays character enhancement by expressing how Gawain thinks and behaves in effort to show the general traits and beliefs of knights in the Middle Ages. The most important thing to the knights in the Middle Ages was…

David Guzik’s Study Guide from Blue Letter Bible website starts off by naming this passage of scripture “Paul’s Final Testimony to Timothy.” Starting off in verse 1, Paul begins by charging Timothy, and the first part of the verse, “charge” means to testify. So basically Paul gave a sincere testimony to Timothy, and a testimony that Timothy must act upon if he would want to be a godly pastor. Next, it says “Before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead,” and here…

very good building blocks for someone’s personality, but one stands out the most. I believe that the 10th moral, which states to live like Jesus Christ, is one that really helps people make good decisions and shape their character. Throughout high school and life, this moral will always lead people on a good path. Living like Jesus Christ means a lot to me, and the reasons that it does are countless. One reason why it means so much to me is because I have a perfect role model to look up to and…

Absolutely Free by Zane Hodges presents a good representation of the Free Grace position in a response to the Lordship Salvation controversy. There is a wide difference between Free Grace Theology and Lordship Salvation Theology and this book justly explains those differences and should be considered a valuable resource for any person studying salvation and discipleship issues. Hodges begins by defining faith and addresses the impact of words, like “intellectual” and “mental,” that possibly…

Paine stated that there was a probability that if a revolution in the system of government then a revolution would follow in the system of religion. Paine stated how there is a connection between church and state. Religion is very similar to a government. Throughout many different religions, they all created creeds which overall have penalties which is similar to a government. Paine states in Part 1 Section1, that people have the right to there own beliefs. The idea of happiness in oneself is…

Introduction A transformational leader possesses a positive ethos (authority and credibility), inspires, trusts and respects, connects with others individually and in groups, articulates a clear and motivating vision and skillfully motivates and guides others to act (Barrett, 2006, p.4). This paper is a communication profile of Priscilla Shirer whom I consider to be a transformational leader due to her various skills that have been identified in this paper. I haven’t met her in person but I…

The book “Why Church Matters: Discovering your place in the Family of God” by Joshua Harris influenced my perspective, opinion, and the decision about the church. Firstly, this book helped me to develop a different point of view of the local church. Before I was not giving so much importance to it. For me, belonging to a universal church was better than belonging to the local one. I did not want to commit to a place where sometimes people lead with their own desires. However, the way Harris…

When it comes to my philosophical anthropology I am grounded in a theological perspective. Our textbook states that a theological reflection “provides us with access to a dimension that is essential to understanding who we are, our relationship with God, and how we ought to live” (Entwistle, 2015, p. 155). I believe that God created humans in His image and that science will never be able to explain all the intricacies that make us who we are. On the other hand, God has left us with many…
