Bruce Almighty Reflection

In the reading by Abraham Heschel God is portrayed as a very personable and caring God. He has similar feelings as do parents with their own children. When they are doing well or have had good things going on, he feels joy and gratification. When they are acting out or have had something negative happen in their life, he feels sadness and anger. He is said to not judge based on just the bare facts.

     Throughout these chapters we see many portrayals of God’s character: The destroyer, the ever-judging, a God with expectations, a God that grieves, feels pain, repents, a God that demands justice; a self-evaluating, ruling and omnipotent God whom also passes on saving grace to the deserving.

The Bible, which is the holiest text in the Christian religion has many instances in which individuals communicate with God. In each instance of contact, it brings some form of good or

What finally breaks down Charles Foster Kane is having Susan leave him. His need for control, and the inability for Susan or others to continue to comply with that need, send him into a frenzy in which he destroys the room Susan was staying in during their huge vacation in the Florida Everglades. From the room he takes a snow globe, and he is heard saying the words “rose bud” the first time by someone else. He walks into a hallway that has many mirrors, and this symbolizes Citizen Kane as a whole. This scene reflects the fragmented nature of the film. The life of Charles Foster Kane is told through the perspectives of several other people, and, due to this, as no person can be entirely unbiased, truthful, or even knowledgeable of the facts when recalling interactions with another person, we never get a complete picture of who Kane really is. Dozens of figures of Kane can be seen through the mirror, and this relates to how there are many images of Kane that can be derived from listening to the recollections of those who were close to him.

People thought that Moshe the Beadle was crazy, and that what had happened to him was obsurd and a lie. Also, people were really oblivious and thought that it could never happen to them, and they

1) God is transcendent in that he is above and separate from the universe; He is holy and righteous. God desires us to pursue to know him, which is essentially impossible. We cannot conceivably come to comprehend God or experience Him personally. He is unknown and unknowable.

The Indians had many settlers trapped inside a burning house. Mary Rowlandson was one of the settlers. As the fire increased she realized she had to make a choice, either stay inside and burn to death, or go outside and face what the Indians had in store for them. She took her children and her nephew, and started to leave the house. Right as she was about to leave the Indians shot a bunch of bullets into the wall, and it scared her so she took a step back and waited. Mary Rowlandson noticed that in middle of this chaos that her six stout Dogs were just sitting there quietly. God used this as an example that she can only rely on him in

According to Oral Roberts, in his book entitled The Ultimate Voice, “God’s still small voice is the clearest and loudest voice you’ll ever hear” (Roberts vii). Roberts so fervently believes in this statement that he puts it on the front cover and in the introduction of his book. The Ultimate Voice serves as his lifelong legacy book. The Ultimate Voice describes Roberts’ personal experiences hearing God’s voice and gives the reader an overview of the actual process of hearing God’s voice in their life. Roberts answers questions many people contemplate such as, “Why doesn’t every person hear God’s voice?” (Roberts 15). The book is divided in to two main sections: The Truth about God’s Voice and His Messages and God’s Messages to Me and What

The human experience is what connects people to one another. What we experience defines who we are and who we become. It also defines how we interact with others. The amazing thing is that not only do the events that bring joy, peace and happiness connect us but also those that bring anxiety, fear and despair. This brings to light the fact that God somehow in his sovereignty uses all things for the good of those who love Him. These ideas are brought to light in Jerry Sittser’s book, A Grace Disguised which is his personal journey of loss and the insight and experience that was gained in the face of great tragedy. In his book, Sittser discusses various insights he has gained, such as how Christian’s view sorrow, how families recover when
