Trinity, due to the three main ways He interacts with His creation. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. In the Bible there actually isn’t even the term trinity, but it is however implied. Tim Case describes the trinity as follows, “There is only One True God, eternally self-existent, revealed in three distinct divine persons, The Father, The Son – Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, coequal, without division of nature, essence (substance), or being.” In 1 Corinthians 8:6 it says, “yet…

He is portrayed as a prophet, a sage- teacher of wisdom and a holy man who is led by the spirit and a proclaimer of the kingdom of God. The three topics of this book, conflict, holiness and politics are three very important issues to look at while trying to understand Jesus’ motives and ministry and why he did what he did. Overall the book was…

Pastor Scott graduated with a degree in theology and has been preaching for roughly twenty years. He speaks in a way that everyone from first-time-in church to lifelong church members can understand. Although his beliefs prevent him from agreeing with certain secular beliefs, he is always respectful of other people and their right to life how they choose. For the most part, I would say that everyone in the auditorium is there voluntarily. There are a variety of ages and ethnicities, and service…

to hear God’s voice in the world around them. Even when they are not sure if it is the Spirits voice or their own voice they are to “determine moments in the existence of the old manhood where the new manhood lives.” (Taylor, 2004 p 122) To hear the participants express doubt does not reflect badly on the rightness of the cause, or their willingness, but rather shows a maturity in how they are hearing the Spirit speak to…

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”-Mahatma Gandhi. This summer I spent two weeks in Nicaragua on a missions trip. It was the best trip I have ever taken and the most rewarding. I met so many people there who are now my friends. I learned so much about the importance of my life and how much I can do to help. I also learned how important prayer is. I was at…

insecurity and neglect. I felt my love ones had no logical reasoning for allowing me to grow into an adult feeling these type damaging emotions and cognitive illusions. According to Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.” My interpersonal relationships were with people with the same dysfunctional backgrounds. Family values based on selfless principles, support and encouragement is my achilles heel because I did not grow up with these founded…

What is biblical leadership? What should a biblical leader be like? These are questions any student of God’s Word should ask if they want to discover what the Bible has to say about biblical leadership. This paper will attempt to show from the Bible what biblical leadership ought to look like primarily in a church atmosphere. While doing, so the terms “good shepherd” and “biblical leader” will be used synonymously. But before we define and elaborate on biblical leadership it is important to…

Aronnax hopes so. He hopes that Nemo is still alive and that his hatred for everyone has disappeared. The Bible talks about hatred as a bad thing, but only in some circumstances. Psalm 11:5 “The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.” But it also says in Psalms that hatred is acceptable. Psalm 97:10 “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.” He hopes that he will…

On March 18, 1958, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut in Louisville, Thomas Merton had an experience that changed the way he viewed the world and everyone in it. Merton had an epiphany that changed his self-understanding and his sense of mission. On this day, Merton acquired an awareness of unity that he wanted to share with the world so everyone would wake up from our dream that everyone is separate. Merton is not the only theologian that tried opening the eyes of the world. Elizabeth Johnson…

Abraham Lincoln once said, “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from The Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book.” God presented us with the Bible to help us and instruct us. Sometimes, we ignore the word of God and believe we are on our own, but that is not the case. God is always with us. Understanding Christ and all he did for us is essential. God's word is what defines Christianity. Out of all the precious things in my life, I…
