themselves in this world. An example of when Victoria was brave was when she decided to save Coop stuck in a ten feet pit by abseiling down with the vines as a harness knowing she could injure herself while doing so. “I dropped to my stomach, grabbed a ropey vine, swung my legs over the rim of the shaft, and braced my feet against the wall. Death-graipping the vine, I began to…

The establishment of the early church covenant was offered to all who believed and desired to understand God and his will.

Thank you Victor for the videos. I had an opportunity to minister to friends who are like Vine and Barefoot both attend our church. A member of mine who is like Vine was introduced to me when she tried to commit suicide afraid how her sexual orientation will ruin the image of her parents and siblings. I walked with her for several weeks encouraging her how her life is important without quoting a word from the Bible. I listened to her fears and anxieties and with her permission arranged a meeting…

was assumed in the area. Limitations due to not having eyes in the ocean to observe and report weather hindered the accuracy of these forecasts and prevent meteorologists from putting out a successful warning ahead of time. The same year as Father Vines’ successes, the US Congress proposed the idea of organized a national meteorological service, which was controlled by the Signal Corps of the Army (Calvert 85). The meteorological service of the Signal Corps did not really start functioning until…
the Bible does contain an illustration that explains the working of the Holy Spirit. The Lord said, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit He taketh away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes that it may bear more fruit” (John 15:1-2). N. B. Hardeman gave this explanation: First, the Lord is in that story; He is the vine. Second, God the Father is also in those verses; He is the vinedresser (farmer) and Christians are the…

better idea of who Jesus is, as it is asked in Mark 8:29. In John 15:1-11, Jesus talks about how he is the true vine, how the Father is the gardener, and how we are the branches. For the believers (branches) to produce good fruit of Christian life, we must always be connected to Jesus (vine) because we receive the salvation and the grace of God through Jesus. If we are not connected to the vine, God will cut the branch off as the gardener and we will not receive the salvation or his grace. The…
The house was very warm, and it was decently constructed. The second deer chose to make his out of sticks and vines that had fallen from the trees in the forest. His house was a little better made then his brothers. The last little deer is the oldest of the three, and he had saved a lot of money. Since he had a large amount of money he bought stone and mortar to…
During the trip to The Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, one of the most captivating two dimensional work was the Gust of Wind by Gustave Courbet. The energetic painting is not just merely oil on canvas, it is the representation of an oncoming storm in a once peaceful meadow surrounding a small pool. This realistic artist is well known for his paintings because they capture day-to-day attributes. Gustave Courbet did not focus on just landscapes, his paintings ranged from nudes, still lifes, to…
