• The Four Acts of Redemptive Narrative
The four acts unfold God’s plot and plan of salvation for all humanity. The first act is about the fallenness, the second is about the redemption of Christ, the third is about the “already-but-not yet” period with the help of the Spirit, and the fourth is the consummation. These four acts of redemptive narrative provide a big picture of God’s plan and the universal status of humanity.
• Hospitality ethic (Romans 15)
The emphasis is on living in community with others. The ethics of love and hospitality should be found in the ages before Christ’s second coming.

My Argument Stephen A. Douglas I didn’t want slavery to spread into other territories. Let’s spread slavery into the west, and other places. I’m more honest than many other people. I tell it as it is. It’ll show the world that we’re dominate.
Crackle, pop the fire sounded as I placed new logs on top of the hot embers. This was the fire the children of my village sat around and told stories before they went to sleep, and tonight was no different. All of their eyes stared at me expectantly as they waited for me to start telling them a story. “Two Rivers Running, tell us the Story of the Great Battle again,” the little ones asked. All eyes were on me as I sat down next to them, everyone silent as I told them the story of the Great Battle.
Many people, both scholars and the average citizen, read the whole Bible several times throughout their life. People read the same verses over and over, but still manage to reap a different meaning each time. Despite being written by men, the Bible is God’s inspired Word and is our best way to get to know Him. One of God’s chosen authors, Paul, wrote the book of Romans as a letter to believers, Jewish and Gentiles alike, in Rome towards the end of his third missionary journey (Cartwright and Hulshof). As Paul teaches the Gospel in Romans 1-8, he begins to shape a theistic worldview that relates to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
Part One – Christian Worldview In today’s world it is easy to become enchanted by worldly things. The deceptions that Christian’s allow themselves to believe (i.e. just this once, it’s not going to hurt anyone, I can handle it, I can stop whenever I want, etc.) come directly from Satan. There was a time when hearing a curse word or seeing too much flesh in a movie would be embarrassing; now it appears to be the norm and most Christians do not even bat an eye at such things any more.
I was going through boxes looking for something, anything that would help me finish this project. My teacher just handed out an essay that we have to do on the history of a family member . My Dad told me if we have anything it would be in the trunk upstairs, but there were only trinkets in the trunk. I resorted to scavenging through the boxes in the attic. I gave up after finding nothing except a picture of some man sitting on a pony.
Loud bickering traveled through the wind as the previously generous man demanded the return of his food. Gompo had shared his sampa and butter wishing to lighten his load and now with no food along with freezing weather the regret boiled up in trenches. “Ado [hey]! You better share with me! “ Gompo stomped around the camp saying, “ Please please please” to one person while turning around and demanding from another his reparations “Remember the sampa I shared with you.
After days of searching for refuge, through the tangle of eroding, weather-beaten and fragmented hills, two score soldiers manned a military outpost where the borders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, was placed right before our eyes and it was like the sorrows which previously filled our bodies during our walk to this place, not knowing we would actually find any refuge, had almost fled from our minds, in hope that we would be accepted into this place ahead of us. As we drew nearer and nearer to the refuge, the wind picked up, our energy slowed down, his lips cracked and bled and the sparse energy left in me completely drained out of me and I collapsed onto the ground. Moments later, my head was being cradled in the crook of his arm and I felt the drops of water trickling down my face and onto my eyes, clearing the sand and dust which allowed me to slightly flicker my eyes open to see so many unfamiliar faces staring down at me and the only familiar face, my lover, reached his hands to mine and gently pulled me into his arms, guiding me to a hut which we have been allowed in for as
A second application is, Jesus made it a point that his mission was not to conform to the social or cultural patterns of the day, but to “Seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). The three parables teach us the relentlessness with which we, as Christians should seek the lost as well. Unlike the Pharisees scribes, we must show compassion and accept those who are repentant of their

Trinity Lutheran Church. Any day, any activity. I am a participant, a student, a leader, a pioneer. Sunday mornings are spent either worshipping with my family in Centennial Hall, a large gymnasium used for our contemporary services, or with other high schoolers, learning about life values and their connection to our faith. During this time, I listen.
Redemption is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, representing God's plan to restore and redeem His creation from the effects of sin and brokenness caused by the fall. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, humanity

One conflict I have had before was when my friends changed my name on a game and I could not turn it back. It made me so mad when they did it that I kicked the hole in a wall. I didn 't even mean to kick the hole in the wall I was just, so mad I didn 't think about it. I resolved it by trying not to think about it. Now I will tell you about another conflict I had.
It was 10:00 & I 'm half awake and I see you post a tbh and I automatically like it next thing you know I get a comment saying "tbh: this emoji describes you " I snap out of my sleepy daze and respond back to you saying "thanks you should hit my phone" fast forward a couple days of texting back and forth I start to feel like this girl could actually put an end to my games that I play with females.

The panic if my skull exploded prior to my enrolment obliged me to soothe stress watching: “Jesus: The Movie”. Anxiety of the course of my destiny strolled over my head.
