The Declaration Of C. T. Studd

The book Mere Christianity was derived from a series of radio talks by C.S. Lewis during World War two. The book is divided into four other small books each one providing one of the overall tenants of Christianity within its chapters.

Identity is the set of behavioral or personal characteristics by which an individual is recognizable as a member of a group. Each people have their own personality, being different and unique from other people. Even though it’s different, each people have some similarity with others that connected them together as a community or a group. However, these groups is not open for all people, some people have to sacrifice their aspects of identity in order to belong to the group that they want to join.

The author Langston Hughes reminisces about when his Aunt took him to church when he was thirteen years old; ‘Every night for weeks there had been much preaching, singing praying, shouting, and some very hard sinners had been brought to Jesus’(1059). At the end of revival the children were asked to approach the ‘mourners’ bench ‘To be saved!’ Langston’s Aunt told him about how when you were saved ‘something happened to you inside.’ (1059) So Mr. Hughes went to the bench with the fellow children in the church, the preacher preached, hymns were sung they keep saying ‘wont’ you come, Young lambs to Jesus?’ One by one the children rose to Jesus. Leaving Langston Hughes and another boy Westley; the boy Westley got tired of sitting on the bench he stood up to be saved. Langston Hughes sat there waiting for Jesus he too grew tired of sitting on the bench and he figured that Jesus didn’t smite Westley for lying; so he stood up.

Currently, the future of his congregation members’ lives is very grim: death in eternal flames, powerless to escape, all due to the wrath and whim of God. However, he informs his audience that all across the colonies Christ is accepting all repentant applicants into Heaven. Once they convert, he promises that his pitiful audience will rejoice, sing, and revel in God’s glory, shed of the burden of eternal damnation.

To know Jesus Christ is the best thing that can happen in a person life. It transforms your mind, body and sprint. I have picked the following three topics to share my experiences of knowing Jesus Christ. First, what can your local church do to better communicate God’s love to your community? Second, why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel? Third, Did Jesus claim to be God? These are the three topics that always spark my interest when talking about our Lord savoir Jesus Christ.

This paper will explain to you the Gospel that makes up the Christian Worldview. I have broken this down into four sections. God, humanity, Jesus, and the restoration.

A group of very passionate Christians appears at one of the crosswalks of Berea College. Heatedly, they scream at the pedestrians and students and faculty and anyone with hearing intact of the wickedness of the onlookers’ ways and the eternal damnation to which their current life leads them. As obviously necessitated by their religious beliefs, these kind folk attempt to carry out a principle mandate set forth by their God, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ: to convert, and therefore save, the sinners of this world.

He had been given one of the greatest opportunities anyone can have in life, to witness to others about what Christ has done in their life. In obedience, Colson told the truth while at court, witnessing to others about what Christ had done in his life. But not only did he witness to others in court, he also witnessed to those he met in prison. While humbly serving his time in jail, Colson was able to make a magnificent impact on inmate’s lives, through Jesus. But the liberation date of Chuck Colson was not the end of his story. He later went on to become an evangelical leader, who founded Prison Fellowship and BreakPoint. Without Colson’s past, he would not have had his future in mistering to

Therefore, the author developed uses diction and details to develop a grateful tone to show that anyone can be saved by joining Christianity. The author

After reflecting on C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity with its complex themes and wording, I thought that reading N.T. Wright’s Simply Jesus would be an understandable breath of fresh air. However this book raised more questions in my mind and beliefs than Mere Christianity ever did. Wright asks a lot of poignant questions in the book in regards to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and in turn triggers even more questions in his readers. He captures the nature of a 21st century Christian perfectly. Like it or not we are a doubting group who question everything in our society whether that be politics, relationships, or religion.

The ten most common traits among serial killers are as follows: alcohol and substance abuse, psychological abuse during childhood, sexually stressful events in childhood, bed wetting, growing up lonely and isolated, fantasies, preferring auto-erotic activities, developing voyeurism and fetishism in adulthood, and physical injuries. There are four main types of serial killers. Hedonistic - thrill/rush; lust/sexual pleasure; or gain (financial). Power/Control - satisfaction of having complete control; sex; main motive is to gain power. Mission Oriented - seek revenge; eliminate a specific group or person; “ridding the world”; generally not psychotic. Visionary - suffer from some sort of psychosis; delusions; hallucinations; feel compelled or commanded to kill; common: God or demons; victims are not targeted. An example of a hedonistic killer is Jefferey Dahmer who killed 17 men and boys, raped them, and dismembered them. He had necrophilia and was also a cannibal. A power/control killer is Ted Bundy, he was very smart, who would stalk, kidnap, rape, and then kill his victims. Joseph Paul

Ever since I was a young boy, my family would pile into our old 15-passenger van and drive to church each and every Sunday, without fail. I didn't really understand it at first, it was just something I had to do. When I was around 6 years old, my mother encouraged me to accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. I hardly understood what it meant, but I went through with it, much to my mother’s excitement. Years passed, and my understanding grew. Up until I was around 13 years old, my faith had no correlation to my actions. I could recite bible verses for hours, yet I couldn't say what any of them meant. That all changed one year at Camp Selah, a Then, in the year 2014, my faith took a turn for the worst. I’d had a testing first year of high

In this paper I will discuss the following three topics; why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel, if a person is a Christian does it matter how they live their life, and does it matter if Jesus was raised bodily or is spiritual resurrection sufficient. I believe that these are three very important questions in theology. The answers to these questions explain why we believe what we believe and why we as Christians practice the way that we do.
