Wayne Grudem in his book ‘Business for the glory of God: The Bible’s teaching on the moral goodness of business.’ points out eleven key factors that as a Christian one should take into consideration when starting or running a business. They include ownership, productivity, employment, commercial transactions, profit, money, inequality of possessions, competition, borrowing and lending, attitudes of heart, and effect on world poverty. The main purpose behind writing this book I feel is that…

By Iago being the puppet master of the play he reveals the inhuman side of people and how they react to manipulation and deception. In the book Othello by Shakespeare we have what I see as a masterful puppeteer. He should be in Sesame Street if you ask me. The puppet masters name is Iago. Iago uses many tools at his dispersal like manipulation, lies, and sometimes just pure luck. His end goal is clear at first but near the end of the story we’re not quite sure where he’s going. Iago is…

Petruchio is matching Kate at her own game,” Why, what’s a moveable?/ A join’d-stool/ Thou hast hit it; come, sit on me” (II, i, 34) He is making a statement that if Kate is saying he is as movable as a stool she should prove it by sitting on him. During this part of the play Kate is very hostile to Petruchio but this line shows that Petruchio…

I took another trip to Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts to see the Senior Exhibit. I was quite impressed by the artworks that were displayed in the Patti and Rusty Rueff Gallery. As I walked around the West Gallery, there was an artwork that I kept going back to. I reckoned it was a sign. An art student named Congdi Wang used a single instrument, a ballpoint pen specifically, to draw Deer in Forest (Figure 1). Compared to my inept and appalling ability to draw or doodle anything noteworthy…

drops,/Stain my man’s cheeks (Shakespeare 2.4.318-319). His daughter’s betrayal has reduced him, and he equates this newfound inferiority with the same inferiority that he sees in women. After Goneril’s rejection, Lear declares: “I am/ashamed/That thou hast power to shake my manhood thus” (1.4.311-313). Because Lear misogyny originates from a desire to control the women in his life, their disobedience attacks his very…

About a week ago Brother Caudle asked, and I use that term loosely because there really was no asking involved, me to give my Talk today on how the song that we just sang affected my life and how I am preparing to serve a mission. To be prepared for your mission you must have the simple things down. Things such as having a testimony of the church, which is the simplest thing yet also the most powerful and important. I feel this is one of the most major connections we can have to God so that…

going to do with the rest of your life. Fight on in the battle all alone against overwhelming odds or surrender to the Master. The book of Ezekiel makes some truth clearer than I ever could.” “When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine…

Allister Cummings seemed nervous as he sat down on the sofa. He was a man on a mission. “I hope you’re not here to tell me more of that Jesus stuff.” Tank sounded impatient. “Why not Tank, nothing else has helped you. Maybe Jesus can. We are having a special speaker at church this coming Sunday. I wanted to invite you to come with me.” Silence filled the room. Allister didn’t want to say another word. It may have given Tank an opportunity not to discuss his invitation. After a long pause, Tank…
