" The Passion of the Christ "

UNIT ONE: Christ confronts evil

1. Have there been times in our lives where we were part of a "mob psychology" in just going along with the crowd, not standing up for what we know is right? What was the root cause of our going along with the crowd? Fear? Wanting to be accepted? Lack of moral courage to be counter cultural? Was it out of laziness? Yes, sometimes we've been very aggressive because we didn't come up with the success that we want to achieve.Our conscience appear everytime we feel that we do bad things or we can't do the right thing.
2. What situations in my life am I most vulnerable to this type of temptation? Standing up for a person? Standing up for a belief? Standing up to defend my faith? What virtues can I work on to rid myself of this weakness? When someones give negative view behind my back. Forgive those persons who hurt you. Because like Jesus, he forgive the people for all thier mistakes. And because I am a daughter of God that's why if God can forgive meaning I can do it also.

3. Christ deals with the tempter by crushing it underfoot. What temptations slither near my foot? Do I crush them or let them take control? At these times of temptation, is my immediate response one of asking for God's help and looking to Christ my inspiration and hope in resisting the temptation? The next time that I can face a difficult situation, I will pray for the virtue of hope that God has many reasons why he gave that such situation and he knows I can deal with it and I can survive with it even the most suffering way.

UNIT TWO: Mary witness to suffering with love and faith

1. Was there a disappointment in your life that you felt you simply could not endure? Was there a time when it seemed that your closest friends, those you loved most, had abandoned you? Write about such a time and how Mary could serve as a model for helping you to persevere. Yes there are

    Dear Friends, My name is Leslie Sickles, I am the Executive Secretary and Christian Education Coordinator for Elmwood Avenue Presbyterian Church in Erie PA. I am familiar working with our Presbytery as I was the Chairperson for Christian Education and currently serve on the Mission & Social Witness Committee for the Lake Erie Presbytery. I am hoping I could appeal to the churches in Pittsburgh for help. My daughter was flown by life-flight to Pittsburgh to give birth to my grandson. He was born May 12, 2008 at West Penn Hospital as a preemie weighing one pound, three ounces. With a many prayers and possibly a miracle, Trevor is still with us. He was in West Penn for five months and has been home for five months up until three weeks ago. He picked up one of those nasty viral infections and it went to his lungs. He was flown by life-flight to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He is still on the respirator and as of today a little better. My daughter Valerie and her husband Ryan Millimaci have been by his bedside as much as possible. What they are in need of is a short term apartment. They have been told that his recovery in the hospital is going to be months. We have been busy trying to find an affordable place ($800 or lower per month). The Ronald McDonald House is full most of the time. They have been staying at Rev. Ellie Johns apartment but the tenants below her do not want them there. We do not want Ellie to have to move because of us and her gracious generosity. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give or steer me in the direction that could help. Thank you! Have a wonderful day celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! God's Blessings, Leslie Sickles (814)864-4809 (church/work) (814)868-0519 (home) (814)504-0353…

    In this paper, Rankin has presented a challenging and enriching way to point out the seriousness, and need to define and stress Satan’s tactic and schemes in this battle. This book is presents another powerful reminder, that God is actively involved in the lives of those that diligently seek him. This book has provided a great deal of advice for any Christian that is interested in living to glorify God. One bit of advice that stuck with me through reading this book, and advice that has been etched in my heart, and in my spirit as I continue on the battlefield for the Lord, he wrote, “Keep the view from the throne. If we will look at life’s experiences from God’s perspective and what His Word says, then we will not be deceived by Satan who is seeking to defeat us by his lies, distorting reality from God’s kingdom perspective. It’s not really difficult to believe God.”…

    Also, she is planning a huge, affordable grief retreat full of healing exercises and speakers. She truly believes God has given her a gift with words. More than likely people will come up to her crying after one of her speeches saying how much the speech impacted them. She continuously inspires people, including myself, which is one of The Great Eight traits heros tend to have (Cherry, “The Psychology of Heroism”). Ultimately, Mary has somehow turned such an awful event in her life into a positive outcome and now helps people overcome the same event.…

    Sometimes we think that our plans must lead down a better road, or that God must not love us enough to protect us from this pain we feel, but God actually uses the painful experiences to further develop our character. Vivian Thomas could have given up when it became too discouraging, but instead he persevered and became an inspiration to many people. During times that are hard, God teaches us more about life, ourselves, and most importantly, about Him.

    Mob mentality is a unique behavioral characteristic that emerges when people are in big groups (Smith). When people would get into larger groups their behavior would completely change due to another person’s actions. Peer pressure is another reason why people change when they are in a group. Like when teens are around the wrong crowd they can be pressured into things they would not do usually (Smith). Also moods of mobs change depending on what occurs, like one small act of violence can trigger a mob to be very violent and angry (Smith). People do not think when they are in mobs they usually just do what everyone else does. Some people use a mob as an excuse to loot through people’s homes and steal belongings. They also have a chance to destroy houses and private properties of the town (Smith). Behaviors can vary from happy to confused to angry to furious. Like prison mobs tend to get violent and angry and shopper mobs get tend to be faster and trample people in the way. Mob mentality is shown a few times in To Kill a Mockingbird. When Atticus took on the Tom Robinson case a lot of the Whites in Maycomb did not support him. They called him names and kids at school made fun of Jem and Scout. A mob men also met Atticus at the jailhouse, because they did not like the fact Atticus was defending a Black man. Scout, Jem, and Dill interrupted the “meeting” and Scout did not know most of the men that were…

    mob mentality is something that is not very talked about but its rooted in our society so deep that sometimes we don’t even realize were part of it. Things like nationalism, globalism, stock market trends, superstition, and even home décor are all examples of mob mentality. This type of thinking occurs because people who share a similar view about something can find that when they gather, their energy and influence grow. This can sometimes become very dangerous. If the message that is growing and spreading is negative or hateful this can, and in most cases, will lead to violence. And when the individuals see this kind of behavior as rewarding it makes their movement even stronger. This can spiral out of control and turn into chaos. Until other…

    Tough Times

    • 527 Words

    A tough time is something that all of us has or will experience. It doesn't feel good during tough times. It seems like everything is not the way you want it during the tough times. Nobody likes to have to go through a tough time. A tough time can be somebody dying, a bad test, a fight, being sick, or being grounded. I have experienced some difficult times, but I got over them after a while. One of my experiences was my great aunt dying of cancer. She was a special person to me. I used to go to her house all the time and I loved her cooking. We almost never had any arguments and she really cared for me, even when I was being bad. When she died I didn't believe God. Why would this God take someone like that away from me? I hated it. For a while I didn't want to talk about God, I didn't like him. I thought it was his entire fault my great aunt died. As I grew older I understood why she had to die. Instead of suffering through all the pain, she could be in a place of no pain. I used to only think of the bad parts of death, but I later realized there is also a happy side. I think most people think there is no good in death and it is a time to be sad and cry. Life is about how you lived, not how you died. If she was still alive she wouldn't want to see me be sad and mad all the time. From this tough experience I learned that once I can get over an obstacle I will be a much stronger person. You should always live life to the fullest because you never know what will happen tomorrow. Some people get into stupid arguments with a person, but when the person is not around anymore, they really regret doing that kind of thing. Although it may seem like the person you are having a fight with doesn't care for you, the person actually does. I rarely…

    Timeless overcomer

    I guess what brought me to myf irst really-struggling-situation was when there was nothing in this world, no help at all, that could ever satisfy my need. It was simply beyond what man can do or provide. And sad to say, he hard core emotions stirred up for weeks. I was beginning to feel helpless. But I figured it won’t be long until I get to reach the other side of the storm. It was my dad who actually encouraged me, gave me a peek to what they called Hope. That night was the first time I cried out to God in desperation. And it was the first time that I actually took by heart acknowledging and pleading to Him both at the same time. There wasn’t any other way but to lay everything down to Him. A few days after I entirely surrendered all my doubts, my fears, my plans – my entire life – God finally gave a response. “Consider it pure joy, brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because the testing of faith develops perseverance.” (James 1:2-3) he did say “trials of many kinds” which gave me the feeling that there’d be more to come. But just how overwhelming and comforting it feels when God- the God who created the whole universe!- speaks directly to your heart. God had given me the comfort that sustained me through and ever since that struggle. In due time, God did answer my prayer. I was changed. From a helpless worrier, God transformed my…
