Cassie befriended Lillian, learned all of her secrets, and beat her up to make her apologize. Cassie was getting tired, so she threw Lillian’s books on the ground. Cassie took Lillian to the woods after being nice to her, doing things for her, and fought her, pulling her hair until she said she wouldn’t tell her father about it. In order for Cassie to win, Cassie said, “Make me.” This may have seemed like a not so good idea, but if this plan had backfired, Cassie knew that in the end, the results could’ve been deadly for her and her

She is slow to get out of the car for this reason. Inconsistent to her wish to be heavily injured during the wreck, the grandmother emerges from the wreck virtually unscathed.

Mr. Bryan: One miracle is just as easy to believe as another is . . .

The word “Christian” in Colorado Christian University is more than just a belief shared amongst the Faculty and Student Body. It is the foundation on which all aspects of the educational experience are built. Beginning with a strong Statement of Faith, which aligns with core beliefs of the National Association of Evangelicals, the University proclaims its belief “in the Bible as being the only authoritative Word of God, that God exists in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as well as belief in the salvation and resurrection that is only found in Christ Jesus” (Statement of Faith at Colorado Christian University, n.d.).

She was upset about what had happened there and was angry that she was treated so unfairly. At the moment, she was kicking at the sidewalk with her head bowed. It was then when she bumped into Lillian Jean Simms. “‘Well apologize’, she ordered. ‘… ‘Okay’ I said starting past, ‘I’m sorry.’, ‘That ain’t enough, get down on the road. … You can’t watch where you’re going , get in the road. Maybe that way you won’t be bumping into decent white folks with your nasty little self’ ” (Taylor 113-114) . Cassie was hot, and her stubbornness and pride did not help. Mr Simms told her that if his gal, Lillian Jean asks for Cassie to get down on the sidewalk, she had to. Out of anger and hate, Mr. Simms, like Lillian Jean, ordered Cassie to apologize immediately. Cassie refused and argued that she had already apologized. She did not want to get down on the road for a crime as small as bumping into a white person. Then, in the heat of the argument, as if on cue, Big Ma came. Cassie was relieved. She expected Big Ma to stand up for her and for them to have eachother’s backs in the fight. However, Big Ma did the opposite, she did the unthinkable. She made her apologize. “‘ Big Ma!’ I balked. ‘Say it child.’ … A painful tear slid down my cheek and my lips trembled, ‘ I'm sorry M-Miz Lillian Jean’ ’’( Taylor 115). Even if Cassie lost this battle, she still stood up for herself, and as fearless and brave. It is impossible to

There is only one way to god and that is threw Jesus Christ. We have to go through Jesus because we are sinners and sin cannot be in God’s presence. Sin is falling short of Gods glory and since we all fall short we need Jesus to bring us back. To have Jesus we must accept him.

This class has made me think about encounters I have had with different groups of people over the last couple years. The class that we discussed Islam reminded me about a time at work when I was talking to a Muslim co-worker. My co-worker was talking her weekend and that she went to the Cheesecake Factory and said that she tried red wine for the first time and thought it was disgusting. I did not think anything of asking her if she just turned 21, thinking that was why it was a big deal that she had drank red wine. I had completely forgotten that Muslims are not supposed to drink alcohol and basically put my foot in my mouth. She did not think it was a big deal and kind of laughed about it, but I still felt bad. I had assumed that college students who are Muslim would be kind of like Christian college students, by exploring more things and doing things that their faith does not necessarily approve off. I am sure that there are many Muslim college students who do do that, but I should not have assumed that Muslim college students would act the same way that many Christian college students do.

Cassie had been waiting for ever in line and kept being pushed to the side for the worker to help the white people and Cassie’s brother kept trying to get her to leave after about 1 hour of waiting and so Cassie decides shes had enough of that and says on page 11 “We been waiting on you for near an hour,’ I hissed, ‘while you’ round here waiting on everybody else. An it ain’t fair. You got no right --” Cassie stood up for what she thought was right even when she knew she wasn’t supposed

It is evident in the world today that there is a need for guidance and counseling. There are many statistics of issues the world faces that prove the need treatment. For example, 35% of persons who marry end up divorced. 40% of children live in a home where a father is not present. By age 18, 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused by someone they love and/or trust. Approximately every 20 minutes a person commits suicide within the United States (Clinton, 2005). This list goes on and is even found within the church. Professional counseling and lay Christian counseling have found a way to help individuals overcome these issues though certain techniques and methods. These techniques and methods are often adopted from secular psychologists such as Carl Rogers who founded Client-Centered Therapy. While both counseling groups have a goal to help individuals overcome their issues, should Christian counselors, specifically, accept secular professional counseling techniques?

When discussing and proving the person of Christ, there are two basic laws that must be addressed and proven. First you must prove that Christ is one hundred percent human (humanity), then you must prove that at the same time Christ is one hundred percent God (deity).

Christianity is the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Most followers of Christianity, called Christians, are members of one of three major groups--Roman Catholic, Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox. These groups have different beliefs about Jesus and His teachings. But all consider Jesus central to their religion. Most Christians believe God sent Jesus into the world as the Savior. Christianity teaches that humanity can achieve salvation through Jesus.

Nations crumble, churches and business fail, families become dysfunctional, children lose their way, and men stray from God for one disturbing reason; lack of leadership. These failures are often because of the lack of instruction, proper leadership, and confusion over what Christian leadership is and how that leadership is applicable to every facet of business and personal life.
