Something the Lord Made

came to Laodicea to talk to them. The Lord Jesus Christ told them that their church makes him sick. Jesus also tells them that he knows their works. Their works are neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm; consequently Christ is about to spew them out of his mouth. The church did not provide a refreshing spirituality or a therapeutic one. The church needs both of these in order to do their good works for God. It was ineffective; moreover, distasteful to the Lord. In the bible, it talks about their…

Hints of symbolism can be found throughout both stories. Lord of the Flies is a book written by William Golding which is about a plane of…

value of our creativity. Many people believe that they are incapable of creativity if they do not posses some certain innate aptitude for writing poems or painting pictures, but God made all humans in his image; he made us with creativity. In our readings for class we define creativity as: "the ability to imagine something... and then execute it..." ("God 's Creation" 13). By this definition there is hardly an action that we perform that excludes our human creativity. A more functional…

and gone with great speed, and I almost feel rushed on some days. This week’s novel, The Lord of the Flies, was an interesting examination of the extreme and cruel nature of men in certain conditions. While reading this week and realizing the characters were children, I wondered what conditions would be necessary to move men towards such a breakdown in society. The two novels thus far do fit together as the Lord of the Flies tells the story what leads to war and atrocities and The Razor’s Edge…

William Golding, a Nobel Prize winning author, was inspired to write Lord of the Flies after he came back from World War I. He was greatly affected by the things he experienced in the war, and related these acts to a survival situation. He had learned how quickly people can snap and become someone they are not.

a substance in and of itself. Just as darkness is the absence of light so sin is the expression of self in the absence of God’s holiness. It is the natural, God given, condition that a man desires sexual satisfaction. But, without the order of the Lord, namely, waiting till marriage, it is expressed as fornication. Many of the things we do that could be considered good are done by motivations that are out of context. Imagine a new…

1. When one hears the phase “Day of the Lord” there are usually a few things that run through their head. For the believers, the righteous, it is a day of hope, but for the unbeliever, the unrighteous it is a day of destruction. “The Day of the Lord”, according to J. Ed Komoszewski in his article, “A Basic Introduction to The Day of the Lord in the Old Testament Writings Prophets” is two sided in nature. It will produce both destruction and blessing to everyone on the Earth. The wicked, the ones…

various forms of media, with the same message being delivered in a different way. This can be seen in Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, which is not only a classic literary novel but also a play.

Upon attending the Carnegie Mellon version of the play of Lord of the Flies, the first thing one may notice is that the theme is very different from the…

It’s about gaining value for yourself, but having the other party win something, too, ” claimed (Manas, 2015).
