“Tattoos on the Heart” by Gregory Boyle, exemplified God’s work, compassion, and kinship. Father Boyle expressed God’s work when he created the Homeboy Industries while back to help turn Homeboys’ lives around. God’s work is in us all. “God can get tiny, if we’re not careful. I’m certain we all have an image of God that becomes the touchstone” (19).
In the bible, the book of Isaiah, chapter 41, verse 10 says, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you…” Owen resembles Christ when he too says to John not to be afraid. Owen is there for John just as he always has been, resembling Christ in the book of Matthew, chapter 28, verse 20, “I am with you always.” Owen is Christ-like in many ways.
How does one live a life as a Christian that honors and glorifies God? The answer is by reflecting Christ’s image by acting as He would in every situation. Because of what Jesus has done for sinners on the cross, they desire to live by His example in order to give Him glory. However, living a Christ-like life can only happen through the work of the Holy Spirit, who comes in to sinner’s hearts when they first put their trust in Jesus and the cross, growing them and making them more like Jesus. Many characters in books, stories, and movies have Christ-like qualities and characteristics, an example of this being Harper Lee’s masterpiece.
After Watergate, the only thing that mattered to Colson was having a right relationship with Christ and ministering the grace he had received to as many people as possible. Psalm 25:4-5 says, “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.

Charles Colson’s life is a powerful testimony to the transforming power of the Gospel.

“A Good Man” and “Still I Rise” are excellent pieces of literature that exemplify the values of empowerment and respect. “A Good Man” demonstrates empowerment constantly throughout the novel. For example, Mark Shriver’s father, Sargent Shriver, and his faith empowered him all throughout his life. With his faith, he empowered his family to attend Church weekly. His family was always together and there for each other.
Why do I exist? Mankind exist to glorify God, to minister to those who are lost turning them back to the knowledge of the living God. Matthew 28:19, says, “Go ye therefore into all the world and teach them, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost” (KJV). Dr. Myles Monroe (2013), said, “I would presume all mankind was made to live for a purpose.” Even Christ existed for a purpose, John 6:38, “For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me” (KJV).
The nature of this miracle—essentially reorganizing matter—emphasizes Christ’s role as the creator, or organizer of all creation. His ability to organize and reorganize matter, as physically manifested in this story, can provide a new perspective from which to view the Atonement. I learned from this passage that just as Christ can organize and reorganize matter at will, so too can he mold me into something new. The imagery of the sacrament contained in this passage is purposeful; as I renew my covenants with my Savior each week, I am able to offer up my heart to him, to be reorganized and made stronger. And perhaps, one day at a time--even as he changed the water to wine, the spirit to flesh, the divine to mortal—he will take my imperfect soul and make me like him

For instance, we are to first to give thanks to God, by offering him our first fruits and praise his holy name in spirit and truth. Trusting that he will provide our needs, the bible informs us, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. God, he
In addition to the central figure of the Resurrected Christ, the window 's three tiers show angels and cherubs joyfully praising the Lord on the same heavenly tier as Jesus. The tier below Jesus shows glorified spirits in the form of knights in armor of light, who symbolize the virtues of Fidelity, Nobility, Honor, Humility, Devotion, Patience, Sincerity, Brotherly Love, and Charity (Knox United Church, n.d., para. 4). Finally, the lowest tier shows us why the window is named “The Memorial Window”. In the bottom tier, we face our humanity and the horrors of war. We see soldiers on both sides of wars suffering and dying, their souls awakening to the warm glow of the welcoming Christ above.
When we read these seven verses and the passages of scripture in the before and after verses, we see how Jesus is preparing his disciples, including us, for the future. In the first few verses of Matthew 24:45-51 Jesus tells his disciples a story about how remaining faithful until the very end
