God Is Not Great

This year has helped me grow in many ways. Being with great teachers and classes has helped me with my academics and understanding of Christ. Ms. Moore, Mrs. Kavan, and Mrs. Semanovich are great women of God and love Middle School students. They always help everyone and I feel like I have a close relationship with them. So, in this year I have grown relationship/understanding with God, academics, and ability to communicate your faith. The teachers here are so kind. They help me with everything…

A great leader has to have one main attribute and that is character because character covers all the aspects of a leader. An individual’s character is based on a set of behavior traits that define the inner-self of a person. One popular leadership model is being a servant, which is very important in my opinion because in our society today many people have a selfish mentality. One of Belhaven quotes that I learn is “to serve and not to be serve”, which is very important to do as a Christian. I…

A general appraisal (=evaluation), and the third part an appraisal of what Rausch writes on a specific issue: I believe in God. In chapter three of Thomas Raunchy book, I believe in God, it starts with an opening article of the apostles creed , “ I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth((Thomas P. Rausch, SJ, I believe in God ,Publication Year: 200, pp 31-62)” Which is considered as the foundation of everything else which Christians believe. On the other hand, this…

SECOND GREAT AWAKING CAMP MEETINGS The Second Great Awakening started around the end of the eighteenth century in New England. In the beginning, the awakening was only noticed by diligence in the lives of Christians and their complete devotion to God.

knowing God. He points that “knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives” and promotes the study of theology (Packer 19). Deeper knowledge of God would lead to fear of the Lord because God is not just the God of mercy, but also the judgment. There may be a spiritual gap in the lives of many believers because they lack Biblical understanding and the full picture of God. Therefore, the church should equip saints with theological knowledge and teach complete character of…

oceans apart. One example of this is the myth of a great flood wiping out entire culture groups. The overall story tells of a flood that engulfs the world and kills all living things. The only exception being a group of people chosen by God to build a gigantic boat before the rain begins. Another common motif is a woman bringing the hate and suffering into the world. We see in the stories of Pandora and Eve, where a woman knowingly disobeys rules set by God, and in turn, she unleashes an…

to god, asking god to help him. David believe that the Lord will help him to win. At the same time, it also shows that god is with all of us. Only by god, we can prevail in the world. All the words in the psalm are about the joy, appreciation and gratefulness to the God. There are mainly three sections of this psalm. The first part is David’s appreciation of the God. When he was in the desert and confronting the failure, he was seeking the God. He recalled the power and the glory of the God in…

twice. The God of heaven and earth is ready to establish his plan. Now he will take Joseph out of prison and make him great in the eyes of the Egyptians. Joseph is the only one that can interpret the dreams that the King has been given. There must have been great joy in Joseph life knowing full well that God was with him. All the years that he had suffered as a young man as he was sold as a slave he could now begin to understand that G-d had a purpose for him. With this great event that God will…

their own cities knew great peace. The Aztecs are often portrayed as wild savages, but in truth were far from it. The Aztecs, like many ancient cultures worshiped many gods, each ruling over different aspects of life, and the environment. Gods like; Chalchiutlicue, goddess of water, Ehecatl god of the winds, and Huitzilopochtli warrior sun god; just to name a few. The Aztecs are not famed for their gods themselves, but for the sacrifices made to them. To the warrior sun god,…
