The Book Of Jeremiah
What we can grasp from the book of Jeremiah in three sections is that we have similar issues in America today that were dealt with in Jeremiah’s time. Our time is now to make the difference in life and to change not only our minds but our hearts. Jeremiah discovers this throughout the book, and attempts to help the matter. Through these three thing see can gather that we will have to make an effort for change, we need something extraordinary to effect our lives, and we have to accept that temptation is apart of life. From that the best thing we can do is just use our minds and hearts to express what we feel and how we feel aloud to share through the Lords word. These three similarities displayed are common things in the America today. We realize

    Book of James

    I read the book of James and was astounded at how much I learned in such a short period of time. James encourages us to rejoice in Christ and to persevere. The main themes prevalent in this book which are wisdom, faith, trials, speech and wealth, all pertain to us today and we can use the information this book gives us to benefit from it. The book’s structure, purpose, characteristics, and history really helped teach me how to deal with the trails and temptations we as Christians face from day to day.…

    Thematic Essay On The Book Of Jonah

    The Book of Jonah is a special and interesting book in the Hebrew Bible. Unlike other eleven prophets’ books which focus on the prophecies from the Lord, the Book of Jonah is a book which focuses on the prophet himself. Jonah alone is the main human character in this book. The fours chapters are like four acts; together they tell a story about Jonah’s special travelling experience and portray the image of this running-away prophet. However, the Book of Jonah does not tell the readers about Jonah’s life before he receives the words from God about the great city of Nineveh; neither does it tell us what happens after God’s answer to Jonah’s question. Surely it does not necessary mean that what happened before the words come to Jonah and what happens…

    A Journey Through the Old Testament

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    Peace Like a River

    “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.’ This is verse 14 from Psalm 77 in the Bible. This verse shows that God is constantly working in people’s lives. It also shows us that He wants their faith to grow in Him. The miracles of Reuben continuing to live in spite of hardship, Jeremiah walking on air, and Jeremiah surrendering his life for Reuben are important in the novel because they help him build his relationship with God.…

    Song of Solomon

    Men’s repeated abandonment of women in Song of Solomon shows that the novel’s female characters suffer a double burden. Not only are women oppressed by racism, but they must also pay the price for men’s freedom. Guitar tells Milkman that black men are the unacknowledged workhorses of humanity, but the novel’s events imply that black women more correctly fit this description. The scenes that describe women’s abandonment show that in the novel, men bear responsibility only for themselves, but women are responsible for themselves, their families, and their communities. For instance, after suffering through slavery, Solomon flew home to Africa without warning anyone of his departure. But his wife, Ryna, who was also a slave, was forced to remain in Virginia to raise her twenty-one children alone. Also, after Guitar’s father is killed in a factory accident, Guitar’s grandmother has to raise him and his siblings. Although she is elderly and ill, she supports her children financially, intellectually, and emotionally.…

    Song of Solomon

    The novel Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison takes place in an unnamed city in Michigan between the years 1931 and 1963. The novel’s protagonist, Milkman Dead, lives with his father, Macon Dead II, his mother, Ruth, and his two sisters, Magdalene and First Corinthians. His father being somewhat obsessed with owning things and earning wealth, Milkman was raised more privileged than the typical African American teenager during this time. Despite the freedom and appeal that money tends to provide, Milkman increasingly feels more and more restricted by his family structure and society’s monotonous path.…

    The Divine Potter

    “Jeremiah's message was a mixture of judgment on the sinful nation of Judah; and hope, after judgment and exile, of a new covenant relationship. Comparing the parallels between Judah and the spiritually low tide of our nation today, what message and teaching could be drawn from Jeremiah's portrayal of God as the Divine Potter? In a world fractured by religious, social, political, and culture tensions, how might we Christ Followers relate Paul's concept of "When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son..." (Galatians 4:4 ESV) to an upside down 21st century world?”…

    Bible

    Edmund Burke writes, “He well knows what snares are spread about his path, from personal animosity… and possibly from popular delusion. But he has put to hazard his ease, his security, his interest, his power, even… popularity… He is traduced and abused for his supposed motives. He will remember that obloquy is a necessary ingredient in the composition of all true glory: he will remember… that calumny and abuse are essential parts of triumph…” Burke’s quote specifically describes the role Atticus Finch plays in To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus sets aside the community’s prejudice accusations and their effects on his family in order to save the life of an innocent black man, Tom Robinson. Atticus risks his personal and family security, power and popularity, is abused for his supposed motives, and knows that obloquy is required for true glory.…

    The Old Testament: The Book Of Psalms

    The Old Testament is made of 46 Books. The Book of Psalms is the nineteenth book of the Bible. Like all books from the Bible, the Book of Psalms is considered Sacred Scripture and given to man through inspiration by the Holy Spirit of God, the true author. The Book of Psalms is a collection of writings describing how the Israelites worshiped God. It also foreshadows Christ as the Word of God, or also known as the Word made flesh. In this case, the word also means the literal words that God gave to the people so they could better understand Him and their faith. In the Book of Psalms, the words God gave to the authors describe how God feels about His creation and how people use their free will. We know that over the centuries God spoke through more than seven people to create the Book of Psalms. When God speaks to man, such as in the case of the Sacred Scripture, it is called divine inspiration. While praying, the people who wrote the Psalms were divinely inspired.…

    Isaiah and the Book of Amos

    The book of Amos is short, exciting, snappy and full of themes which make out for a popular war movie. It sits uniquely amongst the other books of the Bible and in particular amongst the prophets. Several distinguishing features about the life of Amos and his ministry mark this book out from the other books in the Bible. Amos is the first of “writing prophets” of the eight century. He breaks from the tradition of previous prophets. Amos wasn’t called to be a prophet and didn’t come from the lineage of any prophets. Amos was a wealthy sheepbreeder, Judean from the town of Tekoa and the owner of a sycamore orchard. The ministry of the minor prophet Amos took place around 760 BC. The Lord God plucks Amos out and says, “Go, prophesy to My people Israel.” However, what makes Amos’ calling unique is that unlike the early prophets who dedicated their whole lives to their prophetic calling, Amos only serves as a prophet for a limited time. Amos’ message is mainly directed at nations rather than individual people. His message is a judgment against Israel and the surrounding nations. However, what makes the message unique is that Israel has never heard such a message before: God is going to bring an end upon His people Israel. Amos is not sent to merely expose the sin – but to tell them that they were going to be wiped out. No amount of repentance could reverse Gods judgement against Israel. The nation’s sin has become so severe that it can only be corrected by the complete removal of those who had sinned against God.…

    The Visions of Ezekiel

    God choses whomever He wants to give His messages to His people. In the Old Testament, God chose very specific people to give His message to Israel. Ezekiel, was a great man of God and very faithful to Him. The messages he received from God were intense and different than other prophets of Israel. The Lord allowed Ezekiel to have visions of which he traveled through, and heard the voice of the Lord. Ezekiel was obedient to the visions and listened to God’s voice and what He instructed him to do, no matter what the consequence was or how strange, terrifying, weird the message may have been for Israel. These visions can even be applied today in the modern day church and show how much God loves His people despite repetitive sin.…

    Book of Prophet Isaiah

    Then he was followed on the throne by his son Hezekiah, who was very unlike his fathers and set about reviving the worship in the temple, which his father had abolished. He attempted, with some success to obliterate idol worship, and to deliver his people from the yoke of foreign power. It was under him that Isaiah came into his own, and was treated with high favour. In this position he was given every opportunity for the use of his keen and divinely inspired power of discernment into the facts of the contemporary situation.…
