Jesus Girl Research Paper

500 Words2 Pages

It’s Thursday night; you are standing on a corner, in front of you a 3 story house with windows where you can see in, a wraparound porch, and steps leading up to a glass door to lead you inside. Ladies of different ages gather bibles in hand. You decide to step through the door and are greeted not as a stranger but familiar. They introduce themselves; you realize they are from different churches, jobs, and roads of life. As you hear each ones testimony you see intersections where each crosses with another. Intersections appear on your own road that crosses, as well. You have just encountered the Jesus girls. This is not just an encounter for one day a week. These Jesus girls have adopted you into their sisterhood; just as God adopted each of them. Daily you see group messages praising God, thanking Jesus, …show more content…

The Lord has given me a place and sisterhood in the Jesus girls. It has lead me to listening to KLOVE each day; in turn leading me to Colorado Christian University. Had I not taken that step through the door I would still be wondering lost trying to get back to God. Would have missed KLOVE playing “Touch the Sky”; a song that along with Psalm 139 has given me sight to just how much God loves me. Wouldn’t have heard about this school, felt the Holy Spirits nudge to register, or to walk through this new door to a future where I finally receive a degree. In a place that can continue to build up my spiritual road at that. Amen thank you Lord! The influence on me academically has already begun just in those steps. Being a part of the Jesus girls will continue to influence me academically because any time I feel stuck, overwhelmed, low on energy, or low on time I can call on Jesus and lean on them. Influencing my goals to see things through to the finish and to find in CCU a larger community of what I have found in the Jesus

  • Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies: An Analysis

    1371 Words  | 6 Pages

    Many may believe that reading a book about religion would be challenging to accomplish for someone who is not religious. But those people have never read Anne Lamott’s, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith. If one were to ask non-religious college students to read a book by a random author about spirituality and “Finding God” through conversion, they would most likely roll their eyes and bear through it. In Lamott’s series of essays, one does not have to “suffer through the readings” because her writing style is one of a kind. She has strategically chosen every word because she is aware of how important her spiritual experiences are to so many people, religious or not.

  • Langston Hughes Salvation

    831 Words  | 4 Pages

    Writing about controversial subjects can often be difficult; however Hughes executed his story, Salvation, in an intriguing manner that is suitable to all audiences and religions. In this story, the writer retells an experience from his childhood describing his journey to Jesus Christ. Discussing the complications, the main character, Hughes, faced while trying to come to Jesus is what makes the story interesting to read. On many occasions, you will read a story or watch a movie that shows the main character coming to Jesus and having an immediate and obvious realization of their Savior. For this reason, I found this story to be unique and relatable in the way that it shows a journey that countless Christians face, but you are not often granted the opportunity to read about this type of experience.

  • Gender Roles In Bodega Dreams

    Julio’s comment about the treatment of women in the Pentecostal church shows how religion has manipulated women like Blanca into positions where they are expected to be directed and restrained by others. The inclusion of the pastor in the list of glorified roles shows that religion is held to such a high degree that it should be included on the same level of need as any other family member like a husband or child. Religious followers often have specific symbols that represent their religion in their lives or an object that they hold sacred because it represents their faith in their beliefs. However, the people of the Pentecostal church have placed their representation of faith into the pastor and made

Jesus is arguably the most moral man to have ever lived on this earth. Not only could he be considered the most moral man to ever live, but also the most influential leader in the entire course of history. His teachings and an account of his life have been passed on through generations and continue to be recognized by Christians and philosophers all over the world. In a class titled leadership and ethics, Jesus’ life and teachings are most relevant and appropriate.
