In thinking of what I have learned through this course‚ I am forced to admit I have always known the importance of being an active witness. I was not raised in church and developed “unbelief” in God through my teenage years. When I was saved‚ I was radically saved. The Lord became real to me and I told everyone I knew what the Lord had done for me. So excited was I about my newfound salvation and faith in God‚ I believe that I may have turned off some of my friends. One friend in particular was under

I find the Apostle Paul to be one of the most fascinating author’s of the New Testament. In fact‚ I devoted 32 weeks last year to reading‚ studying‚ and then teaching 1 & 2 Corinthians to a class of elementary aged students. Having spent so much time in Paul’s writings helped me to decipher which portions of the Empire’s End where fictional from those that were not. What I admired about this novel is how Jerry Jenkins includes large portions of Paul’s writings into the narrative — mainly in the

Ps2000 Week One Devotional Apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:1 (KJV) to test the spirit by the Spirit; for where there is truth‚ there is also a lie. There is the Real McCoy and the counterfeit; true and false‚ true Christians and false Christians‚ true brethren and false brethren (2Cor. 11:26) who preach a false gospel (Gal. 1:6-9) and so the question asked over 2000 years ago was “What is truth?” Jesus was asked this question by Pontius Pilate and today‚ there are many discussions concerning truth

Attested to David‚ Psalm 139 is classified as an “Individual Hymn of Thanksgiving” 1 a genre in which God is praised for the singers’ delivery from oppression and various life-threatening illnesses while also acting as a “Wisdom” psalm‚ celebrating the creative goodness of God. While the

A sacrament is a tangible connection between Heaven and Earth along with how God’s love and essence is physically here on Earth. Jesus Christ is the essence of God on Earth in human form. He preaches the ideas and serves as the son of God to his kingdom. When people preach‚ serve‚ and worship‚ God’s power is present and the people remember what Jesus was all about when he was on Earth and therefore what God was all about. The concept of God is spread through ideas like the Pentecost‚ Paul and his

The idea of the absolute sovereignty of God‚ Calvinism is required to be understood. This basic principle of Calvinism clearly distinguishes itself from other Christian systems. Because it has a far more extensive view in which individual salvation is also important‚ it only constitutes a small part‚ while God’s view contains all government and religious systems‚ which include all domains. Thus‚ this principle‚ considering the world to be the possession of God‚ it began from God and equals to everything

Anamnesis is the Greek word meaning memory. Amnesia sounds very similar to anamnesis but means memory loss. Anamnesis connects to the Eucharist in many ways. In the Eucharist‚ people are taking in Jesus’ Body and Blood and remembering Christ’s death and resurrection of His salvation. Memory has a deeper meaning in the Church. The Church lives in the memory of the Eucharist through the anamnesis. Through the Eucharist‚ people are proclaiming the work of God to be present in their lives by remembering
