Sweet Jesus, You are a gentle presence. You are kind. You are patient. You are loving. You are also sovereign and cannot tolerate the sin of disobedience. Prove Yourself trustworthy to my wife so she may learn to love and obey Your commands without hesitation. Lord, we know You test us to see whether we love You with all our heart and soul (Deuteronomy 13:3-4). When You test my wife do so gently so she will not become overwhelmed. When walking through times of testing grant her the peace that passes all understanding, reminding her that she is not alone in this journey. Father, do not let my wife grow angry at You or weary of Your will and Your ways. I pray she will obey the commands You have written to us and that she will turn to
God’s graceful offer is for his faithful children who are willing to conciliate with Him; however, there have been the wicked in this society exploiting the precious gift of God for their own sakes. Being highly selfish and overly concerned about their worldly comforts, those do not hesitate to be heinous in their acts and then make their own justification for their wrongdoings, that all human-beings are sinful, and Jesus will save them all no matter what they did. Jesus, however, is righteous and intelligent enough to recognize these unconscionable strategies. In regard to such strategies, Jesus once said that, “Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”(Matthew 7:23, the New International Version) Although most members of the human civilizations have not been righteous over the course of history, God want men to have good deeds to preclude the world from wars and hysterias. Romans 12 and the Sermon on the Mount are the two books which provide the readers the most basic and meaningful moral behaviors, which are always yearning for righteousness, not killing the others, not being maledictory, and upholding the serenity among

Often in sermons, minister pastors persuade their audience to behave in a spiritual or moral fashion. Such in the case in Jonathan Edwards, sinners in the hands of an angry god where he feels sinners should repent for the sins they committed.

Edwards had an influential impact on his puritan because of his use of cautionary tone, complex imagery, and constructive figurative language.
Paragraph 1- NASA is using all the money they have to keep what they have right now up and running, but if we sell the older spacecrafts and satellites the private companies can keep them running and being worked on while NASA builds bigger and better things. In Brian Berger's article “With NASA Budget Cuts Looming, SETI Eyes Private Funding”, he says, “NASA's astrobiology budget, the source of most of that grant money, is facing a steep decline. Under NASA's 2007 budget proposal, currently before Congress, the U.S. space agency would spend $32.5 billion on astrobiology in the year ahead--half of what it spent on astrobiology in 2005.” (Berger, pg 1).

On page 147 of Slouching Towards Bethlehem, there is a passage that I think describes a solution to the problem of sympathy versus empathy. The passage basically states that if we see the value in ourselves, we will be able to discriminate, to love, and to remain indifferent toward others. However, if we do not come to this realization, we will hate those who cannot give to us and will only help others to improve our own image. I agree with the idea that we must come to some realization of who we are in order to reach out and help others for the sake of the good in it. I agree with this because if we do not understand who we are or how we fit into the world, then we will be insecure. This will cause us to seek ways to sure ourselves up and
