Visiting a new church is exciting yet nerve wrecking. I love my home church and I have become comfortable attending every service at my church. However, now walking into a new church I began to get nervous. Every church is different and I was not sure what to expect. I attend a small English Christian church and decided to visit a bilingual Apostolic/Pentecostal Non-Denominational Church. On Sunday May 15, I visited Christ Centered Church. I was invited to attend this church by my friend Art,…
Christ’s Death and Resurrection in Prophecies Paul in writing many letters to various churches is able to write in great depth on many topics of concern to the early churches. In his first letter to the church of Corinth, Paul conveys that his teachings on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are “in accordance with the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15.3-4). While Paul is directly referencing the prophecies of Jesus, he is also alluding to greater themes within Israel’s Scriptures.…

We always hear and read a lot about the work of the Father and the Son, but the work of the Holy Spirit is often ignored. However, the Holy Spirit is always working in us. Even though people often forget about the Holy Spirit, it plays a huge role in the Church today. I think the Holy Spirit is often discounted as a member of the Trinity because people do not understand the role it plays in their lives. It is…
In Creature of the Word, authors Chandler, Patterson, and Geiger set out to uncover what it means to be a church captivated by the Gospel. The Gospel, as defined by the authors, is, “God’s reconciling work in Christ-that through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, God is making all things new both personally for those who repent and believe, and cosmically as He redeems culture and creation from its subjection to futility” (7,8). Chapter one begins with the claim that the church as a…
Physician assisted suicide has created an opportunity for terminally ill patients unlike any other. Physicians have the ability to make dying a peaceful process for patients. In 1997 each state was granted, by the Supreme Court, the right to choose whether or not to legalize physician assisted suicide (Schencker). Even after multiple years only a small number of states have legalized physician assisted suicide. “My hope for every patient I encounter: they will be able to die with dignity, with…
The causes leading up to it are something that builds up over our school years and it is not easy to reverse it. However, being mindful and ready for it can help. Motivation to study can be built up through setting short term goals for one-self. Whether it be chocolates between study notes, or listening to music at the end of a study session, doing these little things can help. Correspondingly, a student cannot possibly change the school system to make it less boring since…
