Sermon

holy and be willing to do everything to save his people from eternal punishment in hell. The same greed he preach about is the same greed he is involved with.. He makes his living from corrupt preaching. Consequently, the pardoner's tale is an honest sermon to deter people from greed and the things of the world even though he doesn't care if the people go to hell as long as he makes his living out of…

Dimmesdale’s silence was crucial in the novel. He was silent for 7 years. It took Dimmesdale 7 years to speak up. He finally spoke on the second scaffold scene in the novel (Elbert, 235). He was completely alone on the scaffold in the late hours of the night. Another example of his lack of courage. After 7 years the most he could do was confess on the scaffold, where Hester stood 7 years earlier and confess out loud for the first time. He stands alone on the scaffold until Hester and Pearl join…

“The Road to Mass Murder and those who did not remain silent” By the beginning of 1939 the National Socialist German Workers ' Party or more commonly referred to now as the Nazis began their mass murders. These first mass murders were not to be of Jews, Roma, Sinti, or any of the other numerous people who were seen and to be seen as hindrances and impurities in the way of the coming “Aryan empire”, but they were to be disabled individuals. These mass murders were first a testing ground, so to…

For my regions study, I attended a Muslim worship service in Lockport, NY. I attended a Muslim Friday prayer service. It is traditional during these mandatory services for men to attend and although sometimes some men cannot due to work obligations. This service was a less formal since the setting that took place among several university students in a room that off to the side. The Lockport Islamic Community center has been in existence in the Western New York area for more than 50 years. The…

On October 30th, 2016 I attended Redeemer Lutheran church. I arrived there ten minutes early and picked a pew towards the back and started to take notes. The mass started around eight o’clock am and lasted approximately an hour. The service itself was similar to a Roman Catholic mass that I am use to. I was surprised that they were so similar because my thought process was since they are completely different religions than they must have completely different mass styles. Obviously after going I…

I chose to attend Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church on November 13. We live in New Braunfels, and our religious options are very limited; we have Catholic churches and various types of Protestant churches. I have always been interested in what happens at a Catholic church; when you have never been to one it can seem interesting and very different. Sts. Peter and Paul is no exception; form the outside alone, I have always considered it one of our most beautiful churches. Sts. Peter and Paul…

Sin and Guilt Sin can do terrible things to the people in this world. It can destroy lives, destroy relationships, and even destroy a person themselves. In The Scarlet Letter, sin takes center stage for most of the course of this book. Hester is punished for the sin she committed. Dimmesdale goes as far as torturing himself because of his sin. Pearl represents the embodiment of sin in this world. So where should we start? How about with the case of Hester’s mystery lover. Dimmesdale is a…

the progress of Fra Angelico’s capabilities over the years. The Vatican frescoes depict a superior development and an exceptional expression of his virtues that he was striving for all these years. The most remarkable frescoes in the chapel are “The Sermon of St. Stephen,” “The Martyrdom of Stephen,” and “The Stoning of…

Beverly, during this time I was expected to go to church with her. I had never gone to church before, I recall dreading having to go. It took so much effort to get ready early in the morning, followed by sunday school, and a long, drawn out, monotone sermon. My Grandma Beverly is mormon, therefor I went to a mormon church. Although I am now nondenominational, going to church with my grandma helped spark my interest in religion and my curiosity about God. The day started with me being prodded…

Unknowingly to the world, during these months of ostensible silence from Supreme Leader Rouhani on his foreign policy, he frequently visits Ayatollah Khamenei in the hospital. He is genuinely concerned about the health and condition of Ayatollah Khamenei, but does not believe he can make any change if Ayatollah Khamenei recovers. After several months of visiting Ayatollah Khamenei and talking with his doctor, while also formulating his foreign policy objective and slowly changing the culture…
