The New Colossus

Beautiful Tuesday morning the sky is clear and the summer rays have begun to warm up the day. My everyday morning walk to school begins with the aroma of fresh cut grass and the sound of birds chirping. I begin to stroll my way to my friend Alejandra house which is a short distance away. Arriving to Alejandra house I lean against her picket fence give her a quick text to let her know I’m outside and wait. We greet each other with a simple side hug and continue our walk. Our walk to the high…

Donald Trump gave one of the longest State Of The Union addresses in recent memory, clocking in at almost an hour and twenty minutes. But how long it was its not impressive, it’s what happened in that hour and twenty minutes is what really stole the show. In his speech Donald Trump not only explained his administration's success but also appealed to our emotions with touching stories of American citizens and describing the true American spirit. This appeal to emotions was once described by…

Day 3 – A Redeeming King Memory Verse: 1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God because He laid down his life for us. Definition of Redeeming: The act of compensating for, or saving someone or something from faults or sins. Reading Passage: Matthew 27:11-37 Hello Friends, In the last two days, we learned that Jesus is our King who is humble and sinless as well. Today, we will learn how Jesus loved us like no one else did. He redeemed us with His love. Since we were all under the power…

I will be using the Sower parable in Matthew 13:19 (New International Version)because it shows that the kingdom of God is sewn into His follower's hearts. The parable is about a man scattering seeds on four different types of ground: along a path, rocks, thorns, and healthy soil. Where the seeds fell on the path, birds have come by and eaten them, when the sun came up the seeds that were thrown on the rocks had shriveled up and died, the seeds on the thorns grew little but were then choked out…

2. Israel a. Abraham, the Father In “Ur of the Chaldeans” (Gn 11:31), probably the same land of Babel, there is Abram, a man that waits for the word of God, a man that is able to hear, a man chosen by God, the first in the Bible to be called “prophet” (Gn 20:7). Abram is presented as the anti-Babel character par excellence. A kind of dichotomy can be seen in the two accounts. The promise of God to Abram “I will make of you a great nation” (Gn 12:2) finds its counterpart in the story of Babel…

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day after his death according to the scriptures? This mystery that occured in the early first century A.D. is the kindle of a flame that is Christianity today. Christianity, by atheists, is seen as a religion that is false and one where the followers are mindlessly following a God that isn't real. Some have even gone far enough attempt to find all the evidence in the world to disprove the resurrection and ultimately…

Much discussions on the writing-translation motivation of Legge is evangelical. I suggest to reconsider the writing motivation of Legge from author-reader a prior. Choosing The Story of Abraham is not only to consider the publication year of 1857 which can have parallel reading with his The Notions of the Chinese Concerning God and Spirits, but also we can identify the identity of Legge as co-author-translator-interpreter. A brief introduction of The Story of Abraham is needed. After that,…

Initially, Wiesel and all the Jews of Sighet believed deeply in God. Their faith in the Almighty was absolute. At already 12 years old, Wiesel wanted to study the Kabbalah, a world of mysticism as explained by his father, despite the Jewish laws about this discipline. Furthermore, when he was talking with Moche the Beadle, his master in Kabbalah, Wiesel said, “We would read together, ten times over, the same page of the Zohar. Not to learn it by heart but to extract the divine essence from…

The answer is in the Bible, God’s word. Jeremiah 31.3: I have loved you with an everlasting love. God loves you, and He loves you with a agape love. There is no human love comparable to divine love. God loves you & wants to forgive you & have fellowship with you. Many of us do not know God’s love. If you knew his love, your life will be changed. When man sinned what did God do? He did not hate mankind because of their sin. Though God is holy & without sin & hates sin but he loves a sinner.…

That’s what happened in the garden of Eden. But prior to this in-cident occurring Lucifer, was expelled or as we like to say kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God. He was created by God and he wanted to be God to be worshipped as God was being worshipped by the angels he had created. But God is God and he will not share his glory with another. Earth became corrupt because of the pronouncement of God upon it. Man would now have to live by the sweat of his brow. No longer could he walk…
