School spirit

are shaped by our experiences in our lives. The most influential experiences that have helped shape me into the person I am today have been my Christian education, my involvement in athletics, and my walk with Christ. When attending a Christian school my life was influenced in many ways. The most significant are the people that I encountered there and the opportunities that I was able to experience. Throughout the years, I have made life-long friends that strive to make me best version of…

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) The scripture mentioned above accurately articulate my sentiment perfectly. On Saturday I started my day early where I retreated at the back of my house to spend time alone in worship, thanksgiving, prayer, and fasting. Due to the fact that I have always dread being at remote places alone. Nonetheless, the thought that came to mind was…

The principal meaning of this passage is about how we must put our faith in Jesus Christ. In my opinion, this passage portrays how people lose faith sometimes, but Jesus will never stop looking after you. When Simon says, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets,” you see that Simon is losing faith and has doubt that there will be any fish; however, after Simon does what Jesus asked him to do, the nets were breaking because they…

Genesis is the opening book and Revelation is the closing book of the collection of stories called the bible. Genesis and Revelation are similar in many ways, but also contradict each other in an equal numbers of ways. By the end of revelation, God creates a new earth that is holy and does not contain any sin, unlike Genesis in which the new world is filled with sin, satan, curses, tears and death. Revelation also diminishes the need for a sun, and the drive to hide from God because of…

highly religious painting that draws emphasis to the holy trinity (the symbol for christianity) that includes the father, the son, and the holy spirit. In the painting the father is seen at the very top. It looks as if he is looking directly at the observer of the painting which can be interpreted as his prestige and importance over all. The holy spirit is symbolized with a white dove that can be seen right below the father's head. The son is hanging on the cross which is the main emphasis of…

faith, so why are they so mean and unfriendly I thought to myself? The way that they presented themselves every morning influence my thinking about nuns in a negative way. I never disrespect them in any way. In reading a certain paragraph in chapter 2, I must say I have a different perspective about nuns, I realize that I was quick to make an assumption based on a person religions rather than seeing that person for whom they are. It is important to consider here that even the person who is…

powerful and important. I feel this is one of the most major connections we can have to God so that when you become a missionary and begin to teach his children we can have the spirit to be with us, because even though the missionaries are the ones out there teaching they aren't teaching alone, but rather being guided by the spirit, making up for all…

The feel First United Methodist was very church feeling. When you first walked in you immediately wanted to stand up straighter and make sure you looked your best. The people there were very homely and smiled and greeted you with open arms. This made me feel at home right away, unlike I thought it was going to be. When worship began it was like nothing I had expected to hear or see. The music that was played consisted of old hymns and some modern worship. But it was nothing compared to the high…

The Mission, directed by Roland Joffé, shows some of the challenges which the early Church faced. The Church at the time was seen as large world power but at the same time it struggled to maintain power and also its beliefs. The Churches conflict was displayed in Cardinal Altamirano’s decision to end the missions and allow slavery to continue in order to keep power(Joffé). The need for power conflicts with the idea spreading God’s word to the missions. Then Gabriel and Mendoza different…
