In part six, I thought there was a lot of good information spread out in all of the chapters. The biggest thing that stood out to me were in chapter 25. I enjoyed the first sections that were expressed. I enjoyed the idea about how Jesus recruits heroes to join him in critiquing theocapitalism. I think this means that he reaches out to people who are going to attempt to make the kingdom grow. The four laws I thought were really interesting to process through. They had so many different concepts. The one thing I enjoyed was the first law and how it said that God does not think the economy is a bad thing. Even though so many times people will think God’s opinion is a certain way, however, we do not know how God truly feels. Along with this and the idea on how Jesus recruits people to help the kingdom grow was that he wants for us to step out of our comfort zone. In my life recently, I have been focused on this idea of doing things we do not necessarily want to do, but we need to do. In order for us to experience a complete life change, we need to do things that make us feel uncomfortable. We must have faith that if God puts us in something that he …show more content…
There are so many times when we do not know what is going on or we do not fully understand where our money is going to. For example, the US invested in war in Iraq and they spent over 200 billion dollars. McLauren had such a good point in the book were he said the war’s cost could have taken care of the world’s poor for five years. When I processed through this idea, I could not imagine how much different our world would be if we took some of our focus off of the wars and put more of our wealth into our own country. I know war is inevitable, but I think the US needs to think of other things to do before we jump to having a war with another country. There are so many desperate people in the world who do need the
As previously mentioned in the previous chapter regarding the life of Moses, sometime around 1446BC, he goes to discuss with the Pharaoh the release of the Israelites from slavery. The Pharaoh refuses to release the Israelites, consquently, God releases ten plagues onto Egypt to force the Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave Egypt. The ten plagues consisted of water into blood, frogs, lice, swarm of flies, diseased livestock, men and animals will break out with boils, thunderstorm of hail and fire, locusts, three days of darkness and death of all first-born son and daughters. The Pharaoh finally consents to the Israelites leaving Egypt allowing Moses to organize the Israelites and begin their 40 year journey back to Canaan, but the Pharaoh commands a group of his soldiers to chase after and kill all of the Israelites. Moses sees the approaching Egyptian army and with Gods assistance parts the Red Sea, leads the Israelites through the divided water, then after the Israelites are safe from
Below write 200 words stating and outlining 3 KEY POINTS gained from the lecture material and explain why you consider them key points. My first main point is how Jesus is presented as the fulfillment of the promise by Yahweh to sent the Messiah, ‘The one who saves’, in the New Testament. The Gospel texts describe who Jesus is or what he did and are linked to Old Testament texts. This important as it associates and further bring together all parts of the Bible as the New Testament is written in light on the Old Testament.

Chapter 7 focuses on climate as it relates to conflict. When we think of climate, we think of atmosphere, mood, or the overall feel of any given situation. The book describes climate as three different types of interdependence in a situation: promotive, competitive, and individualistic, all of which represent areas found in climate analyses. The climate or mood is what shapes conflict when we are interacting with others. It’s the main ingredient that causes people to act in the ways that are conducive to their environment.
Eert is a small, peaceful river valley that believes strongly in religion and takes pride in its culture. Citizens rely on their Tree God, Branchy, to grant them good harvests, hunts, and rain water. As long as citizens please Branchy with their annual sacrifices, they receive what they pray for. Citizens rely mostly on farming for their food, although hunting is common. The land is very fertile and is great for farming because of the flood that occurs once a year and the rain that certain areas of the island receives.
Repetition definitely is more of a focus in the sermon rather than the constitution. Next is the Description. Unlike Repetition both of these pieces have great description. “His pure eyes by your
Steffirah Eliscar Summer Reading Entry #1 5 August 2015 After reading the first couple of pages in Our Town by Thornton Wilder, I must say that I am not particularly impressed. The first act is filled with descriptions of the town. The stage manager provides the audience with unnecessary details such as anthropological data, and the population of the town. This play does not seem to have a plot or storyline. It just depicts what the characters are doing at the moment.
Montreal, the home of hockey, is the best city to do for the 5 Themes of Geography. I mean it is Canada, who doesn’t like Canada. Like I mentioned before, the five themes go perfectly well with this city. Montreal is in the province of Quebec.
I think chapter six is one of the best chapters in the book. I have learned why so many dangerous things have happened around the world, and also what motivates some people to become terrorists. However, one thing I never understood is how religion can be part of global terrorism. In ancient times, religion was always the problem for humanity. Men cannot unify because different groups have different beliefs I think men should put aside religious beliefs so they can unify.
Chapter 8 Review 3. The horizontal wind determines the spacing between the isobars on a surface weather map each day. For example, if the pressure gradient is strong for that specific day, the isobars would be close together resulting in high winds. If there was a low pressure gradient, the isobars would be more spread out. Thus meaning, that the horizontal winds blow from locations that have higher pressures to lower pressures.
He discusses many subjects in the book. Three of the subjects are rebirth, knowledge vs. foolishness, and truth. Rebirth is a process of
Nevertheless, there are various functions and visions that Jesus ushered in with roughly thirty different names, titles, and images. When you read the book of Revelation it gives informed details of His character and nature, and the work that Jesus performed. Therefore, it is vital for each person to study the word for themselves so they will not become tossed to and fro or become confused and lose their soul in this sin sick world. “ Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV). I have enjoyed my journey into the study of the book of Revelation.
Kingdom of God versus opposition: There has been resistance, protracted warfare where people: who comprise kings and presidents of the world, are used of the devil to oppose the gospel. This gospel is known as, ‘the Gospel of the kingdom.’ Jesus himself said to the disciples, “And as you go preach saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew10:7). Luke puts it thus, “And heal the sick there and say to them, ’the kingdom of God has come near to you” (Luke 10:9). The doctrine of ‘divine health’ is to be witnessed when the kingdom comes.
