Egyptism Changed My Life

999 Words4 Pages

Ever been lost in the world and going through the motions very day? This was me a little less than a year ago. After struggling with life and always feeling empty for so many years, my moment occurred, and it altered my life forever. It all made sense to me, and things began to come together. The defining moment in my life was getting baptized and accepting the Lord as my savior, and many factors contributed baptism and acceptance.
A couple people played a huge role all of this taking place. The first and most important is God, because without Him none of this would have ever happened. Growing up in church, I have always been a Christian and believed in God. When I got to high school, I strayed away from everything I had ever been taught. I fell in the ruts of temptation and stopped going to church, like many people today. Even though I only live a few miles from my church, I would always tell myself, “I am too tired.” Despite all of this God, never gave up on me and still has not to this day. He also placed a certain person in my life, …show more content…

I still struggle with sin just as much as the next person and unfortunately still sin as well. The temptations of the world are everywhere, which makes it very easy to fall in them unknowingly, and walking the walk and talking the talk are the last pieces of the puzzle of committing my life to God. The amazing thing is I will always know God still loves me and will always forgive me and be by my side no matter what the situation is. That is the beautiful part of my moment. Also, God has put a lot of wonderful things in my life as well, one of which being the determination for a wonderful job. Now I know I can do anything through Him, so the possibilities are endless. God will always bless me tremendously if I keep my faith in Him. Sometimes I just have to keep my head up, pray, and stay strong. I will always be strong, because I am a child of

  • How Did Akhenaten Change Egypt

    342 Words  | 2 Pages

    Akhenaten, previously known as Amenhotep IV, was one of the most controversial Pharaohs to rule Egypt. As pharaoh, Akhenaten changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to a monotheistic religion devoted to the Aten, which was depicted as a sun disk. The Egyptians despised this radical idea, but were forced to change their religion, art and their overall way of life. His reign began at around 1353 BC in the 18th Dynasty, following the death of his father Amenhotep III, and lasted until 1336 BC. His father’s reign was peaceful and prosperous, leaving Akhenaten with an Egypt of immense power and wealth.

Thus accumulating contradicting interpretations of his reign and effect on Egyptian society. Eberhard Otto stating that “Akhenaten destroyed much, he created little… whatever else he may have been, was no intellectual heavyweight”. Others claim he was “the worlds first idealist… and individual”. Accentuated by his iconoclastic religious reformation and relocation of Egypt’s capital city.

    In 1375 B.C.E. a young Pharaoh ascended the throne named Amenhotep IV, but just five years into his rule he changed his name to Akhenaten and with this change he went against tradition and the culture of his people, moving his capital, and declaring a new religion. This change affected every aspect of the Egyptians life, how they worshiped, lived and even the art that was so important to the culture. Though Egypt had a long history of tradition and respect of the past, Akhenaten’s radical behavior did not last, it was just ten short years after his death, that his city was demolished and his name almost obliterated from history, and the old ways brought back. During his rule he opened up a renewal and renaissance of culture and beliefs,

    In this tape called Remade, the speaker, Mark Hart, discusses “being made new in Christ”, and how to change yourself in the best way possible.

    Most transformative moments in life can be caused by the smallest of occurrences in life. Often people do not even realize that a pivotal moment in their life is happening. Someone may realize when they are mature enough that there was one special moment during their childhood that ultimately determined their lifelong goal. For others, they probably realized an “aha” moment right when it happened and from then on decided that they knew what they want to accomplish later on. I actually have taken from both sides of the spectrum from realizing that one special transformative moment but also not even knowing that it would end up steering me towards my current career choice.
