In 1,604 was ordered the King James Bible and the first edition came to life in 1,611. Although it was made in Europe, it played an important role in America. This version of the Bible is considered: the ultimate translation in English, and no other version are found in the churches or personal use.

The earliest Christians did not have church building. They typically met in homes. (The first actual church building so far found is at Dura Europos on the Euphrates , dating about 231.). They did not have public ceremonies that would introduce them to the public, and they had no access to the mass media of their day. So, to understand the steady and diverse expansion, we can have a conversation, about the Apostle Paul, we don't run across many "big names" as missionaries in the first few hundred years of Christians history. Instead, the faith spread through a multitude of humble, ordinary believers whose names have been long forgotten.

Early Christianity had a lot to do with the transformation of Rome and posed a challenge to the Roman Empire. Christians were known as the enemy of Rome, primarily because they refused to worship the emperors as the embodiment of Rome’s Gods meaning they were denying his divinity and authority. The one whom the Christians worshiped had been declared a criminal, was tried and put to death the roman state.

Worldview is perspective on life and the world around us. Worldview is individual to each person, encompassing a variety of factors. In their book, Contemporary Worldviews, Lew Weider and Ben Gutierrez describe some of these contributing factors: “ A worldview, then is a response of our heart or inner being; our intellect, emotion, and will. It is the total framework we bring to decision-making” (59). For the Christian, it is imperative to base worldview on biblical principles. Applying scripture to the five topics that encompass a worldview, origin, identity, meaning, morality, and destiny, will greatly contribute to a better understanding of what is means to have a biblical worldview.

They had a social gospel which responded to problems in industrial society which fought for justice and an end to poverty. Women were educated and some even went to college. We know most women were teachers or nurses. They had reforming cities that had safe house's that were in poor neighborhoods and they could stay in these houses to learn about the area, have meetings and get free health care.

There was an antibiotic saloon league that made a lot of kids and the wives go into poverty because of men drinking too much. They had democratizing trends that were initiated the referendum which allowed citizens control over the

The Biblical images of the Church are the basic concepts of becoming one with the Lord and with each other in perfect harmony. The mission for us is to be the salt and light of the earth and become that of which God wanted from us in the beginning. The first time salt is used in reference to the People of God is in Matthew 5:13 and this is a key point in understanding this image of the Church. The first time that light is used is in Matthew 5:14 and this marks the start of a huge step within the Church and those who belong to it. Together salt and light make the world a better place and help us keep a perfect faith that is good for all to enjoy.

Romans 12:13 states, “Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Giving to those less fortunate is one of the most important things that I can do in my life. The greatest joy of service is to share it with others; Unfortunately, the elation of service is often overcome by the need to fill volunteer requirements for school functions. I once thought that I knew the complete intrinsic value of volunteering: working with friends to support the community. Focused on the bigger picture, I lost sight of the meaning of service to the less fortunate; However, I have since changed this, and I now align my understanding with Romans 12:13.

Vacation Bible school is ending at Morris Brown AME Church as the clock strikes 7:30 p.m. on June 17, 2015. Anxious to take their pick from hot dogs, chips, lemon cakes and sodas, children scurry to the fellowship hall.

Typical. What falls underneath the term typical? When referring to my typical experience of the bible it isn’t one that would be typical to most people. At first my experience with the bible was one like many others. I grew up going to church learning the basic biblical knowledge that shaped my perspective of what the bible was all about. Growing up I was the awkward quiet kid at church, the kid who sat and listened but hardly ever the kid that was considered to be unique. As I got older I began to realize that I didn’t enjoy being the “unique kid”. When I got in middle school I decided to turn my focus towards something else besides church. I turned my full attention to basketball. At that time turning my focus away from church wasn’t that hard. While I was in middle school our church was going through a time with an interim minister. The minister was very old and boring and that was one of my main reasons for losing interest. He couldn’t relate the bible in a way my young intellectual mind could understand. While I was playing basketball in middle school I was the best of the best. I was even honored as one of the best players in middle schools girls’ basketball. I was also presented with a trophy as well as two recruiting offers at two local high schools. One of which I later accepted.

The Gospels, are possibly one of the most sacred, and the most divine things we have in this world. For it is through the Gospels that God speaks and reveals his truth to us. However the Gospels were not always accessible as they are in today’s world, in fact there was a time that they didn’t exist. It is believed the first Gospel to be wrote was Luke, somewhere around the year 70. The other Gospels were started shortly after sometime in the 80’s. All together there are a total of four Gospels that are in the Roman Catholic Bible. There names are as followed, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in that order they are found in the Bible. These Gospel writers are believed to be what could be described as God’s pen and ink. These

While most Americans generally think positively of the Bible, not many have actually read much of it, according to a new survey released on [Tuesday].

The sermon on the mount is relevant to my life today because it provides me with multiple life long reminders. When Jesus says "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" in verse 27, it is a really comforting reminder for someone who is more often than not, worrying about life.

It is impossible for us to pray with accuracy when we don't know what to pray for. That is why we need the Holy Spirit to "help" us. The Word says in Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…" God wants us to have knowledge about Him and His word and prayer. The Holy Spirit helps us in all those areas. Have you ever had something come up and you were not sure how to pray or deal with the situation then all of a sudden rising up from the inside of you, a verse of scripture comes to your remembrance? That is the Holy Spirit. God has given us His Word, the Holy Spirit takes that Word and brings it to our remembrance. Then we know the will of God in the situation and know how to pray about it.

The Gospels and other passages provide meaningful insight into characteristics of a disciple of Jesus Christ. First, a true disciple of Christ is a follower of him. As Jesus walked along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon Peter and Andrew casting their net into the sea. Jesus said to them follow me, and immediately they left their nets and followed Him. (Matt 4:18-20). Jesus gives a general invitation to everyone to follow Him by accepting his charge and allowing him to be the Lord, leader, and master of their lives. With this invitation and acceptance, Peter and Andrew were willing to give up all earthly possessions to follow Christ Every person must be willing to take up the cross and follow him no matter the cost.
