Worship

obsession for celebrities found abundantly in society. David Cox (2015) refers to the psychological results from a University of Leicester report showing 216 adults out of 600 adults sampled (36%) displayed a certain extent of indulgence in “celebrity worship syndrome.” Having the acknowledgement and admiration within the social structure remains a guilty pleasure, with around one-fifth of adults being anxious about their “fifteen minutes to fame.” David Cox in his article (2015) uses Stephen…

people so fascinated on being just like their favorite celebrity? People choose to worship celebrities because they want to live vicariously through them; people want to live a life that is comparable to their favorite celebrity. Celebrity worship or idolization is where a person becomes overly obsessed with the nitty gritty details about a celebrity’s life. When celebrity worship goes too far, it’s called celebrity worship syndrome. CWS is an obsessive, addictive disorder where a person has to…

Celebrities today are constantly seen on the news, in the tabloids, or even on social media websites. We as a culture focus on them and analyze every single move they make. Their lives are no longer private, but instead blasted everywhere for everyone to see. Ty Burr brings up the excellent question of why do we obsess over these human beings; why do we portray them in a Godly light? We as a society look to these people, not because of who they are, but rather what they have and the distraction…

In the fourth century, following the New Testament and Nicaea there began the Trinitarian Benediction taken from Paul’s second letter to the church of Corinth. My question is why is there an exaltation of the Holy Spirit at the center of worship? The Holy Spirit is not self-honoring and is in service to the father and Jesus the Christ. These tactics can deceive even the very elect. I must confess if it had not been for seminary I may have been deceived…

every major strive to exemplify the lifestyle this verse describes, making their area of study their form of worship. However, one subculture specifically envelops a group of students whose academic focus dovetails with their faith in a unique way, allowing all of their efforts towards success in school to directly bring glory to God’s name. While an assumption exists that Music in Worship majors do not have to work hard due to the artistic nature of their major, in reality these students…

whether or not Christians and Muslims worship the same God. This controversy still continues today, and both sides present very informative arguments. It is important to make clear that if one does argue that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, it does not mean they believe that both religions are the same. Many people on the side that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God will argue that although both religions worship one God, the God they worship different vastly. While…

Americans Have An Unhealthy Obsession over Celebrities Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity: [is] doing something over and over again and expecting a different result”(1). There are two types of celebrity obsessions: one type is the individual who has a healthy fascination towards a celebrity, perhaps for their generous personality or admirable talent; and then there is the insane individual who has a complete and involved relationship with a celebrity, they may even revolve the celebrity 's…

American’s hypocrisy. With his speech, Then I Must Worship the Spirit in My Own Way, he convinces the Americans that they treating the Native Americans with cruelty by pointing out the flaws in their culture. It is apparent that he respected as a leader because he spoke on behalf of his tribe. Likewise, Maria Stewart is a well educated…

Ronald Rolhesier creates valid reason for attending the House of Worship. One particular reason resonates with me based off of memories of growing up. Church is not only a place to worship but a second home to many and a santuary for all. Any facility that welcomed my family that possessed different areas of worship were automatically welcomed in our hearts. To have your immediate family representing the Seventh- Day Adventist faith, my Father's side of the family catching the holy ghost with…

Appearance is an important part of our lives, which explains why philosophers since antiquity have discussed and debated the nature and root of beauty. Colloquially, beauty is defined as anything that is aesthetically pleasing, but this definition is clearly simplistic. A work’s surface view leaves no room for the way for the feelings or experiences it causes. Pictures of the Grand Canyon can be quite underwhelming, however, when I stood on the precipice I did not see a plateau raised by seismic…
