Reinhard Bonnke's Message

203 Words1 Page

Reinhard Bonnke’s message was powerful, it really touched me and I understand how it was possible for him to help many others find their faith in Jesus. I felt the Holy Spirit’s presence in Chapel and I really believe that something in me changed. I believe that message touched many others as well. Although I was a follower of Christ before I got there, I felt like that message reinforced my faith in him from any little doubts I had on his plans for me. A couple of his plans for me became very clear. When he was saying about God telling him to preach at his own hometown and he not wanting to at first, really reminded me of how we should all reach out to our own hometowns. Many times we do go out to the uttermost bounds of the earth, but we

    In 1791, a son of former slaves by the name of Benjamin Banneker, wrote a letter to Thomas Jefferson about his belief and standpoint on slavery with major rhetorical responses backing his standpoint up. Banneker starts off his letter and continues throughout it by stating “sir.” He does this knowingly as it is a sign of respect and the fact Jefferson has more authority than him, as Jefferson was the Secretary of State at the time under President George Washington, and hoping to have Jefferson and other high and powerful men consider his point of view. Predating back to the early 1700’s, slaves were merely legal property in the United States, meaning the slaves had no rights. Free black men and women had no rights either.

    We can learn many things from Jonathan Edwards. Personally, I need to realize that sometimes small is best and has the most influence on people. His life showed that the noticeable isn’t always what is needed. He lived a small life and wasn’t as recognized as the other preachers, such as George Whitefield, during the Great Awakening. Not surprisingly, a theme in my research of Jonathan Edwards was his mundane life and how he devoted his time to God, working in his study for almost eight hours each day, reading, writing and interpreting God’s word.
