My Story Inside God’s Story #2 Psalm 103:19 reads, “The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.” God rules over all. His kingdom is both in heaven and here on earth. It encompasses both realms in equal authority and in equal sovereignty. By reflecting on class readings and discussions, it is possible for me to write my understandings of the Kingdom of God, those things that I do not understand, how I am wrestling with them, and what the pressing needs are…

Throughout the passages of The Life of Antony and The Life of Saint Macrina, relationship plays a crucial role in leading oneself to the ascetic life. It is apparent that Antony and Macrina come to the ascetic life, not only from the relationship they reach for with God, but the intentionally neglectful relationship they have with the Devil. The relationship one holds with the Lord proves to further their ascetics on their path of transformation in Christ as they possess an unfathomable love for…

One of the principle benefits of Christology is that of redemption. Redemption is the means to be saved from sin. In Why God Became Man, Anselm asks “by what logic or necessity did God become man, and by his death, as we believe and profess, and restore life to the world, when he could have done this through the agency of some other person, angelic or human or simply by willing it? ” Here Anselm explores the need of humanity which is that of redemption; how humanity is redeemed through Christ’s…

What makes a Christian school a Christian school? Bruce Heckman, in his article, “Schools as Communities of Grace” argues that “Christian schools should be known as communities of grace-places where visitors clearly see God at work in the way relationships are conducted.” If it is the case, what are the things that the Christian school should be doing to reflect that view? Many Christian schools today are not very different from public schools. Some of the problems found in Christian schools…

The Lord Jesus Christ tells that people will come to know “false messiahs and false prophets who will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive” (Matthew 24:24). Although many false messiahs and false prophets have been a part of the earth since Jesus Resurrection, who seek to betray humans or persecute the true followers of Christ, there has never been an adequate worldwide fulfillment of the Lord’s words until the Tribulations during the first part of the 20th century. Since…

God himself transformed into a human being. The book of John is a good source to understand the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, and His role in the trinity. For example, Jesus states “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him” (John 14:7). In this verse, Jesus evidences the trinity by defining himself as a reflection of God’s entity. Also, further on the same chapter, Philip asks Jesus to show them the Father, for what Jesus…

house, this house is invisible to the builder but the map of a house sheds light on what is to be expected. The theory of Dionysius is extraordinary because John incorporates and explains how God made images to faintly remember him like the Trinity, where the Trinity is depicted as the sun, rays of light, or a river and the Mother of God is represented as the staff or earthen jar. John argues to the Catholic church that these images were created by God so that in the future people could…

Sharing the Gospel with Joe will be different than the manner I normally share. I rarely encounter people who deny any belief of God. Joe who has told be Catholicism was in his childhood, but is something he does not practice as an adult has also shared he does not attend church and has not accepted any of my invitations to visit my church. HE has indicated a desire to socialize with me, hence my invitations to church. I have come to realize he is seeking to establish a relationship with me…

Batnaya was a small village full of Chaldean/Catholic people who used to love Jesus and were very respectful to each other. I grew up in a really traditional family, if you have heard of my village then you will know that these kind of villages are traditions and they love to follow the traditional that are left from our grandparents. I grew up with one brother and seven sisters. We had a really…

In the book, The Upside-Down Kingdom, by Donald B. Kraybill illustrates the importance of Jesus teachings as he the messiah leads his way of acknowledging all social classes. Jesus loved, cared and forgave us as he loved us regardless of the power or wealth. Jesus teaches to serve others as to help those who have less than us. Jesus rather focus on the poor and poverty rather than focusing on wealth. Heading 1 There are three ways to look at the social class there is upper class, middle class…
