Philippians 1-4 Analysis
Philippians 2:1-4 is a really beautiful portion of scripture where Paul is directing the body of Christ on how to live individually and with others. In our society today, we are so ruled by pride and most of the time we do not even realize it. Our current generation is immensely caught up in “what is in it for me?” We are so often stuck on ourselves. When do we look outside ourselves? In Robert Saucy’s lecture part four he quotes Karl Menninger. Karl Menninger said, “Lock your house, go across the railroad tracks, find someone in need and do something for him.” I wonder if half of the problems people experience in their own lives are because we do not look out for ‘the interests of others,’ as it says in Philippians 2:4.

    Beginning Biblical Studies Chapter Summary

    The Bible is an accumulation of historical books that are comprised into the now known Bible, which has a variety of versions. However, the Christian Bible is composed of two Testaments. The Old Testament and the New Testament, whereas the Jewish Torah is only composed of one, the Old Testament. In the text, "Beginning Biblical Studies," revised by Marielle Frigge; she presents a section on sin in chapter 5. Sin is addressed as rebellious, distorted, and an act of forsaking’s God’s covenant. Sin is an act of withdrawal from God’s will, as a result of the Bible which states the Lord has a plan for us. In Jeremiah 29:11-14; God’s plan is expressed for the people to call upon him, not for evil, but only good. However, in 1 Samuel 12:20-25 and 15:22-23; the Lords message is expelled out to the people to turn away from their sinful ways. For sin is rebellion, arrogance, and idolatry, which will all be rejected by God.…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    Analysis Of Paul's Letter To Philemon

    In the words of Pastor Terry Hill when asked about his opinion on issues that may send some souls to to Heaven and others to Hell, "I will always lean towards mercy and grace.” Philemon is a perfect example of a man learning to reflect Christ in how he chooses to counter culturally give mercy and grace. We as believers are all a part of the same body and thus receive the same status of sons and daughters. Sadly, this equality is not always displayed as it should be. Paul's letter to Philemon shows us as children of God to respect each other instead of conforming to the societal norms of slavery.…

    Romans Epistle Analysis

    In the epistle of Romans Paul is introducing himself to the Romans and explains the message he plans on teaching before he arrives in Rome. The epistle was sent from Corinth before Paul had sailed of for Troas during Paul’s second missionary journey. Paul had friends in Rome, whom he had planned to visit on several occasions, but had always been prevented from doing so. He had several reasons for being interested in the Roman church: his desire to see the imperial city, their need for instruction, his desires to stop any Judaizing activity, and his hope for possible support for mission to Spain. The central theme of Romans is the revelation of the righteousness of God to man, and its application to mans spiritual needs (Tenney 1985, 304–305).…

    Fahrenheit 451 Critical Analysis

    Galatians 6:7-8: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption.” When we sow a seed, we should also understand what we will reap. Those who produce laziness will reap the fruit of laziness, and those who sow diligence become diligent. It is not popular in today’s culture to speak about living wisely. We live in a society that is demanding and impatient. We want what we want when we want it. Most people are very undisciplined in the way they live. Their spending habits, eating habits, sexual behavior, use of time, and much more, show a profound lack of wisdom. Knowledge is important to understanding. A life with a lack of wisdom and communication results in degradation of the community. We go to school to learn, we go to church to learn, we learn even by hearing others speak. Being able to comprehend how life is fulfilling will fulfill us with contentment and now oblige ourselves to technological…

    1 Samuel 17: 32-54 Essay

    The passage of 1 Samuel 17:32-54 opens with a brief discussion between Saul and David over the Philistine giant Goliath. A terrified Saul pleads with David not to accept Goliath’s challenge of a fight to the death. However, David is determined on confronting the giant as he has insulted God and His people. After hearing David’s passionate words, Saul allows him to fight. Approaching Goliath, David is dressed in a simple tunic, carrying a staff as well as his sling and pouch of rocks. They exchange words and Goliath charges. David calmly reaches into his pouch and using his sling hurtles a stone, embedding it in Goliath’s head. He needed neither sword nor spear to defeat the Philistine giant, instead it was His faith in God that allowed him…

    Role Of Previving In William Faulkner's The Deliver

    In a perfect world, all men and women would have souls of strength and morality, but reality tells us that some people’s sole goal in life is to just survive each day at a time, without trying to improve themselves and the lives of others. Each person has a choice to withstand their struggles while striving for greatness. Those who do decide to prevail and exercise compassion and mercy have a better quality of life and self than those who just endure. Despite the rewards, for some the process of prevailing takes too much effort and sacrifice. But in the end, helping others, retaining your virtue, and getting through your own struggles is worth the…

    The Importance Of Volunteering In America

    Before, I was all about myself, I knew what I needed and knew what to do to get what I needed. But since I have had this experience I have decided that giving is the life for me. I now see that I am not the only person in the world that has needs, and I am also not the only person in the world who struggles to meet said needs. And I believe that if I lead the rest of my life giving, I could inspire someone else to give, too. Luther was all it took to start the peasant revolt. That alone is enough proof that if one mind changes, several will follow after it. If we all become giving citizens maybe we can all find our inner…

    Ephesians 5: 15-21 Exegetical Paper

    We see it with the two verbs: being drunk with wine which leads to debauchery, but being filled with the Spirit, which leads to joy in fellowship and obedience to the commandments of the Lord’s will (Hoehner, 702). Just like those who become drunk with wine, those who are filled with the Spirit can no longer control their actions. Those who have the spirit give up their own will to the Lord. Those who walk and are filled with the Spirit, then the Spirit of God is directed and empowers the believer to live their life in a way that is pleasing to God and also to his will. “Believers are commanded to be filled by the Spirit so that they will understand the will of the Lord and allow God’s control of their lives, thus providing enablement to make the most of every opportunity rather than succumbing to the desires of the flesh” (Hoehner, 705). Believers should not only walk wisely, but be filled with the Spirit. All of these are very beneficial to the believers and are pleasing to…
