Guarding By Christ Analysis

We all know that we will encounter storms of life but often enough it is not the exterior storms that pose the gravest danger. It is the storms of the interior that often threaten us the most. Our daily challenges may sometimes seem overwhelming but what is going on inside can pose the greater threat to our lives, to our peace of mind, and even to our faith. The miracle story we hear of in the Gospel of Mark today demonstrates perfectly the struggle that we all go through and he gives us a way through those struggles in the example of the disciples.

Personally, I enjoyed this article because I look forward to being able to integrate the Bible and Scriptures into my own counseling practices. I feel that both my knowledge of psychology and the Word of God will allow me to help people through anything. God’s word will be the basis of my treatment plans; I will also need my background and insight from psychology.

As humans, we long to be recognized. When what we are doing is ignored or looked over, it is difficult to find the will power to keep going. Without the Holy Spirit’s daily guidance, it is easy to lose passion for doing what is right.

1. The biblical basis of Jubilee 2000’s call for the immediate canceling of all debts of HIPC’s is found in Leviticus. This bible book states that “you shall not oppress one another.” Also in the book of Leviticus in the case of someone who becomes poor and in turn to sells his possessions then his relative may redeem the possessions he sold. Or if the man has no one to redeem it but he himself becomes able to redeem it then let him count the years since the sale, and restore the remainder to the man whom he sold it, that he may return to his possessions. But if he’s not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the land of him who bought it until the year of Jubilee and in the

This past week we were assigned with the opportunity to create an essay on a bible verse. I quickly grabbed the nearest bible and started to flip through the pages, until I got to Timothy, so i stopped there and started to read and think of what i wanted my verse to include. I was in a deep thought when one single number went straight to my head and I didn't know where it came from, it was the number 7. I found the passage from chapter 1 verse 7 “ For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and love and of self discipline.” This verse is so moving to me because you don’t need to be afraid

This was reassuring to read, as I realized some of these people were calling to God asking for His guidance and help much like I do. Lately, I have been able to frequently turn to God with my own struggles and put my life in His hands. However, I have not always found it easy to turn to Him during difficult times. After meditating on this passage I noticed how many times the people referred to the Word of God. Not only did this emphasize the importance and need for Scripture but it showed me that the Bible should be my go to no matter what I am feeling. I should turn to Scripture so that I am able to gain new wisdom and knowledge about Christ and my current situations. In the end, it is the Word of God that trains and equips us to do good works as His disciples to glorify

The new Christian Counsellor: A fresh Biblical and Transformational Approach is a book that aims to teach people and empower them to take possession of their souls in the contemporary life of a multi-faceted approach design.

Throughout many years we’ve seen different Filmmakers and Directors who have given there input or thought of what the ideal version of Jesus Christ. What makes the image of Jesus Christ so dynamic is the controversy it creates, whether the connection is positive or negative people will challenge it. In 1988 film director Martin Scorsese directed the film “The Last Temptation Of Christ “written by author Nikos Kazantzakis. The significance of the character that Scorsese present is he shows the veracity of Jesus Christ. Instead of giving people the typical Jesus Christ that we see on postcards, Scorsese shows the true flesh and blood of Jesus. He shows the struggles and the questioning of Jesus and to his father. The image that Scorsese presents as Jesus gives a solid and strong acknowledgment to Christ; this is not a fully divine Christian movie. It helps to understand Jesus more and what he suffered and went through in order to help save mankind.

Vigilantes of Christendom was authored in 1990 by Richard Kelly Hoskins, outlining the philosophy behind “the Phineas Priesthood.” The ideology refers to an Old Testament story of an Israelite priest who claims he was directed by God to use a spear to kill a man and a woman of different races who were having sex.

So the next time you are at a place of weakness turn to him, and allow Christ’s power to be magnified through your

That there shall be a Christian and Universal Peace, and a perpetual, true, and sincere Amity, between his Sacred Imperial Majesty, and his most Christian Majesty; as also, between all and each of the Allies, and Adherents of his said Imperial Majesty, the House of Austria, and its Heirs, and Successors; but chiefly between the Electors, Princes, and States of the Empire on the one side; and all and each of the Allies of his said Christian Majesty, and all their Heirs and Successors, chiefly between the most Serene Queen and Kingdom of Swedeland, the Electors respectively, the Princes and States of the Empire, on the other part. That this Peace and Amity be observ'd and cultivated with such a Sincerity and Zeal, that each Party shall endeavour

This Sunday the reoccurring message was “Growth through Adversity”. I treated the mediation as an after church devotion to help clear my mind and get my ready for the school week. My goal for the day through mediation was to digest the message from church and clear my mind from the last eek. Ultimately, I was able to mediate and focus on the clearing of my mind and optimism for the next week of school ahead of me. (Journal Feb 5th).” Like Augustine said, “ how we think, how we remember, and how we love “ will show of true connection with Union with God. So, we must digest the information we receive through sermons and scriptures and use it to analyze God and grow a deeper connection with him.

One unpleasant individual in Cormac McCarthy’s book, “Child of God,” found himself becoming less and less apart of the norm society has built around him. Throughout the story you see not only physically, but also mentally how Lester Ballard is becoming less humane. With the book starting off where Lester’s childhood home is being auctioned off, you will see how the transition from where Lester will begin to live matches to how he starts veering towards a more grotesque type of mindset. Provided that Lester Ballard wasn’t a contributive member of society from the beginning, it is no surprise when his character gets more withdrawn as he moves further away from his childhood home.

In reading, Anthony Robinson and Robert Wall, “Called to be Church,” they claimed in one of the chapters, the word “conversion and community” goes together hand in hand, in a Christian’s life with God (Robinson and Wall, p. 80). However, implications rose among our congregation, in today’s church. Not having the same patterns of the early church, during Acts 2:47. Where many accounts of people being saved was multiplied daily. However, today’s congregations are not reaching no one for Jesus Christ. Why is that, could it be the lack of training for discipleship or evangelist within the church? Or could it just be laziness of the congregation in reaching the lost for God. Christians, today have no sense of urgency for the lost. Could it be, because

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33) If we notice every time we are away from our God things don’t seem to connect well. Every time we try to do things in our own, being away from Him that is another time we fail to fulfill our need, because He is our only need to fulfill anything we lack internally and externally.
