Tithe

We first shared the gospel with them and led them in the salvation prayer, and then I shared a little bit about God’s command to tithe, and prayed for them.

At the end of the teaching, I talked to them and ministered to them and then cast two demons out of the woman, which had been tormenting her. She walked away free, praise the Lord! She came…

To save him, Blake had to get through seven twisted rides, each of which dealt with one of his many fears. On the other hand, Unwind is…

Some would say bullying is a negative topic that can be hard to stop. Bullying can be defined as “Repeated aggressive behaviours that are intended to cause harm to a victim with relatively less power to defend themselves” (Faucher et al. 112). It presents itself as an issue from an early age(such as Kindergarten or Pre-Kindergarten) all the way up to bullying even in the workplace (such as hazing or even cyberbullying). It is a problem that only worsens as the ages climb and can become even…

Rhetorical Case Study One The freedom of religious belief, regardless of the affiliation, has always played a salient role in society and culture in the United States: even before the country’s official inception.

In the opening seen of Unwind by Neal Shusterman, Connor and his girlfriend are discussing his options over the busy highway. If I hadn't read the book prior to this, I would have been extremely confused as to what they were discussing. Which was most likely the authors goal. Reading through it a second time helped me look further in the details. In this story Connor is being unwound. He found this out when he was he sneaking through his fathers office and found 3 plane tickets, there are 4 of…
