Hypocrite Analysis

Scripture also says that the Lord teaches the way we should go, and He will counsel us and watch over us. (Psalm 32:8-10). Even though God teaches, sometimes we choose

One can hear a sermon any day of the week, because there are many preachers out there in the world. Many sermons are retold Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments that tell how our ancestors lived, and teach us life applications of how to glorify God while we are living our lives. For over a thousand years God’s word has been preached by many faithful men who follow Him. However, there were some of those faithful men who used God’s Word and their own improvisation to convict sinners and to put their trust in God. Those times resulted in an era called the Great Awakening of the 18th century and they also put an end to the segregation era of the 20th century. Two of the faithful men during those eras were

As a church we have misappropriated the level of judgement dispensed. We understand that all have sinned and that true discipleship requires accountability and discipline, however, the indubitable level must be delivered in a humble and nonjudgemental manner. We must realize the greatest impact for change is empathy, compassion and action. The only way to ensure the action is effective, one must first hear what the people feel as though their issues are. Next we must remove ourselves from a hypocritical place of judgement so that we can full understand and

Response: “Alan Potter (2014) wrote that John MacArthur warned us that if we lose the biblical foundation while preaching this will lead to the decline of preaching which will contribute to the weakness and worldliness of the church, so for a church to be spiritual healthy, preaching should return to its proper biblical foundation (https://www.linkedin.com). Paul told Timothy that by preaching the Scripture, man and women could be wise for salvation (2 Tim. 3:15 NKJV). They learn the way of salvation through the Bible which the Holy Spirit taught the preacher to use, they should not use their own words dictated by man’s wisdom (1 Corinth. 2: 13

The calling of a pastor for the Lord is a very high calling as well as position. God has granted the ability of the pastor to lead sheep and teach truth to people. A pastor also has certain convictions that he or she must live up to. These certain convictions keep him or her accountable to God, upholding the stature of being light and salt of this world. Through the content of this paper, every conviction a pastor must have will be discussed, why these convictions are important, and who compromised their convictions.

There is a girl on the streets. She has blisters on her feet, holes in her clothes, and tangles in her hair. She is dirty because she doesn’t have the necessities to take a shower. People walk by her saying things under their breath. Occasionally, someone actually mutters a few words to her about her appearance. She doesn’t respond, but rather just takes the insults like stabbing knives. People continue to walk past the girl like she is trash on the street. Yet people from other countries think the United States is paradise. It is a dream to live in the United States, but there on the street is a girl who is a prime example of the hypocrisy that exists. The problem is that our society doesn’t allow for that paradise situation. There are so many problems that exist in our society: there are kids that don’t have parents, a high amount of people in the United States go days without food, and many are without places to sleep.

John Kennedy Toole killed himself after his book, The Confederacy of Dunces, was rejected by a number of publishers. It wasn’t until after he died that the book came to Walker Percy, who pushed for its publication. In the foreword for the book, Percy calls the book “sad,” he says “one never quite knows where the sadness comes from -- from the tragedy at the heart of Ignatius’s great gaseous rages and lunatic adventures or the tragedy attending the book itself (Percy ix). Though not obvious, the book offers evidence to suggest that the sadness does have a root in Ignatius’s “great gaseous rages and lunatic adventure[s]” and has nothing to do with the author’s suicide, as tragic as that may be. The book is a critique of ordinary society’s shortcomings but subsequently offers no solution or example of redemption. Toole’s main tool for conveying his critique is through his main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a pretentious, lazy, slob, whom stumbles from page to page in the book centering the entire plot around his grotesque self. Through the characterization of Ignatius and his interactions with society around him, The Confederacy illustrates a phenomenon in which people’s outward judgements become

The majority of our studies thus far surveyed the life of certain leaders. One thing that stands out is we all have the propensity to sin and the vulnerability to fall. One of the strongest admonitions to leaders is found in Acts 20:28. It states, “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of

Sex is the sacred sigh of the covenant with God, when a couple has sex they are sealing the covenant with God. Breaking this sign of the covenant is one of the most harmful sins that we as a people can expose ourselves to. In order for us to enter into heaven God says "But among you there must not even be a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity...because these are improper for God's holy people.1" Breaking the sign of the covenant with God is breaking God's law and going against everything God wants for us. God doesn't ask much from us considering all that he has given us, he asks us only to follow his laws, in Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command.1" Premarital sex goes against God's command and ruins our relationship with him.
