Christian vocation is a life calling from God, relating to work, personal growth, career and often marriage. All baptised Christian are called to live a vocation of priest, prophet and king, three anointed figures in the Old Testament.

Through my time in high school i discover that the more I get involve in several activities, the more passions I would find. This started in sophomore year, when I joined Junior Achievement, a program that motivates students to explore the challenge that creating a company represents. I was amazed by the possibilities and totally enjoyed that specific experience. Later at the beginning of junior year I joined Students Run LA, a program that prepares students to run the LA marathon. I prepared…

Core values that influence making decisions My first core value is that what I create must align with scripture. Scripture is infallible in the sense that its authority and power come from the Holy Spirit who is God. Because it is inspired by the spirit is lets the reader become more like God by knowing him. Further, scripture is completely true because it was inspired by God who cannot and will not lie. Thus, programs that are based on scripture expose others the only full truth that exists…

Before this passage can be analyzed it is imperative…

Natalie’s facile confidence immediately bewitched me. In the second semester of our first undergraduate year, roommate troubles foregathered us. I lacked a roommate and she requested a new one due to incongruity with her first roommate. Her effervescence magnetized me and similarities in our lives bonded us within a week of her move to my dorm. We separated after spring semester’s conclusion and happily reunited in the fall. Natalie’s magnetism blinded me from the deleterious aspects of her…

I am writing to appeal my Faculty Scholarship at Our Lady of The Lake University. In my first semester of 2014-2015 academic school year I obtained a GPA of 1.76. Regardless of the difficulties I had transitioning from high school to college, I admit, my GPA being that low is my entire fault. In the fall I simply did not know what it took to be a successful college student. I was still a naïve high school student who thought getting through college would be just as easy as high school. With…

selling her a stereo for $514. This case dealt with unconscionability. Unconscionability includes “an absence of meaningful choice on the part of one of the parties together with contract terms which are unreasonably favorable to the other party (458).” The primary concern when determining reasonableness of the terms of the contract is to take it in light of the circumstances when the contract was made (458). The court held that the case must be remanded to the trial court for further…

written by E. P. Sanders, who argues “that the Christian vision of Judaism as a religion of “works-righteousness” and legalism cannot be sustained from the Jewish literature of Paul’s day” (p. 88). This new perspective introduces a new thought and a new term which is ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism suggests Paul’s opposition is not legalism within Judaism but rather the idea that God’s salvation in Christ is exclusively for Jews, and Jewish proselytes only. The first century Christians were…
