eagle! God will do the same in your life! We must give away old memories, old habits and old struggles. God will strengthen you to do what must be done! He strengthens through prayer, he strengthens through the word, he strengthens through worship and he strengthens through fellowship! He will strengthen you! Paul had been through so much in his life, shipwrecks, stonings, beating with rods, prisons, hunger, thirst, often in the deep, beatings, punishments. But he said, “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me!” The thing that must be done! The obstacle that must be faced! The challenge that must be meet!

Jesus said in Matthew 5:48, “Be perfect as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect!” (I Peter 5:10) after you have suffered a while, He will make you perfect.” Jesus is teaching that you can always find somebody who is not as powerful as you and use them as a standard!

    Week Five Devotional An acronym for Bible is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The Bible is our manual for living and dealing with life on life’s terms. Because we are saved does not mean we will not face persecutions, adversity, hardships, or offenses. On the contrary, Jesus makes it clear that we are going to be persecuted, and told us in John 15:20b, “If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” Apostle James in his letter tells us to “count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations (James 1:2).

  • Langston Hughes Salvation Theme

    964 Words  | 4 Pages

    Langston Hughes short story “Salvation” epitomizes what is an internal struggle for many people, especially children, who want so badly to believe what they have been taught all their lives by their relatives, elders in the church and the preacher; that to have a relationship with God, you must be saved and only then will you be able to see him. Hughes’ Aunt Reed paints such a vivid picture of that idea beginning in the story’s second chapter: “My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! She said you could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul.”

  • Perfection In The Perfect Man

    The next angle of perfection to be analyzed is slightly more personal to humans in general as it deals with perfection in oneself and not our thoughts, philosophies and ideologies. Taking perfection in terms of the perfect person can be considered as a difficult topic to approach as different people may have different views of what the perfect person should be. For example there have been distinctions made between what Germany led by Hitler during the Second World War and what colonial powers such as Britain thought were the perfect race. Hitler’s Germany was inspired by a newfound love for Aryanism; the idea of the German people being the “master race” in the world. Whereas in Britain the British were considered to be superior than other races

The debate came about in 1948, when the Supreme Court handed down its first decision on the issue of religion in public schools, ruling in McCollum v Board of Education that it is unconstitutional to conduct religious education within public school buildings (Cohen par. 5). Many people stated that principals did not want the non-Christian students to feel uncomfortable, but did they ever think that not praying in schools could make the Christians students uncomfortable? Not letting students pray in school violates the 1st Amendment.
