"How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing? I rest my case." (Robert G. Allen). For the most part, an abundant amount of wealthy people invested at some point in their life during the process of becoming successful. It is a healthy idea to continue investing throughout time to increase wealth or maintain it.

When you read 1 John 1-3 the Disciples are explaining to us that the God of the Old Testament was present and visible to them as they describing Jesus Christ who had stood in their very midst. 1 John 1-3. 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen…

Viewing the world in different ways can reveal radically different things about the same situation. Similarly, the way a book is written and narrated can present a biased or unbiased representation of a situation.

Essentially, the speaker makes an attempt to show that the difficulties of old age shouldn’t leave a person feeling hopeless for life. The poem begins with the metaphor “old age is/…

4.1.1 Empowering service users and equality Based on the theories of neo-classical economics, Greener (2008) proposes two main types of benefits of the promotion of markets in welfare service delivery: empowering purchasing power of service users, and improving competition and efficiency of providers. These benefits of marketisation represent in the field of care for older people. The market provision empowers service users to ‘exercise consumer sovereignty’ (Greener, 2008) through greater…

The author of the article, Reasons to Question the Reliability of Scripture, wrote on the basis of trying to disprove or question the reliability of the New Testament by providing multiple arguments against the idea that the oral history of Luke and the other NT authors could be accurate. While I have an answer for all, I’m going to focus on a few that I believe are the most important to help clear up a basis for historical evidence before ever going into faith or Christianity as a theology.
