Be familiar with the following content from The Preface, Introduction, Appendix, & Chapters 1-5 of “Living Out the Mind of Christ: Practical Keys to Discovering and Applying the Mind of Christ in Every Day Life” by Dr. Gutierrez

Psalms 139 speaks to me as a song of praise. God speaks very clearly about how he knows us. He knows our every thought. He cares about our comings and goings. Every word that we speak God knows it before we even speak it. I love the song there will be pain in the night and joy comes in the morning. Says that he is always with us no matter where we are at. His sprit never leaves us. We could go to the depths of the earth, settle in on the far side of the sea, we can hide in the darkest places and he will find us because he cares for us. This psalm is very meaningful to me because it lets me know that my Lord will never leave me or forsake me. He created me I will praise him because “I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful

The Book of Nehemiah is narrative that continues the history of the Israelites after they return from exile. Nehemiah prays to God about Jerusalem and God’s promises. Nehemiah is sent from Babylon to Jerusalem where he inspects Jerusalem’s walls. Different sections were rebuilt by different groups of people. Through prayer, they were able to complete the rebuilding even when there was opposition. Nehemiah helped the poor by summoning the priests to make the nobles and officials take an oath to follow God’s law. A genealogical record is listed of the exiles who returned. Ezra read The Book of the Law to the Israelites. The Israelites prayed to God and confessed their sins and signed the Law of God. The Levites were brought to

In the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God written by Zora Neale Hurston, the author starts chapter three with Janie Mae questioning whether or not marriage brings love; she questions because she does not love Logan Killicks, her husband. After three months of marriage, Janie results to going to Nanny for advice. Janie confesses that she does not like Logan’s unromantic personality and his ugly appearance. When she starts to cry, Nanny sends her away, telling her to wait a while longer for love to come. Within a month, Nanny passes away, and after a year, Janie has learned that marriage does not bring love. At the end of the chapter, Janie’s dream of love has died, causing her to become a woman.

The book of Judges introduces us to the long years of Israel’s struggle to maintain control of the Promised Land and serves as the transition from the conquest to the kingdom. It deals with events following Joshua’s death (c. 1380 BC)

The wall took a mere three days. Each citizen pitched in, working fervently both night and day to complete the large barrier. The wall stood five men high and was one man thick, constructed of adobe bricks, reinforced with metal rods. At the southern end of the town was an entrance, guarded carefully during the day, and sealed tightly at night. If was one was to pass through the opening they were searched and questioned thoroughly to ensure they did not sympathize with El Grupo relamente

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

I went to private school and remember many bad memories from the church, they used to bully us (children) if we dared to ask anything other than softball questiona about god. Being children, we did not realize that some of our questions were on point reasonable questions that the church feared even if they were asked adults. It was sort of like using a curse word and not knowing it was a curse word and getting in trouble for it. We were asking questions we did not realize were sensitive to the church because they were hard for church to justify because all they have to base their responses on is an un-changing bible. Back then cherry picking was not as expertly used as it is today.

In section one of Numbers which is the Lord’s Preparing the First Generation to Enter the Promised Land covered in chapters one through ten there seems to a very specific message that God desires to communicate to the original audience. Although various opinions may exist regarding what this message may be the clearest message that appears to be displayed is that God has various ordinances and rules regarding the worship, day to day life, and travel of the Israelite nation which set them apart from the nations around them and must be strictly followed and adhered to. Chapter two of Numbers gives an account of the organization of the camp of the Israelites after they had been numbered by tribe. Each tribe had a specific leader, a specific head of each group of three thirds, and a specific location in which they were supposed to camp relative to the tabernacle. The purpose for all of this was set out by God in order to protect the ark and the tabernacle along with encampment as a whole from the presence of God and invaders who sought to raid the encampment. Chapters three and four along with seven, eight, nine, and ten all have to do very specifically with the roles of the Levities and tabernacle worship and the very strict guidelines that applied to both of these. The Kohathite clan of the Levities which was to transport the sacred articles of the tabernacle was not permitted to ever see the articles that they were carrying lest God strict them dead. In addition, in the

The Law of Moses, or Moses’s Law refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, sometimes call the Pentateuch, or Torah which is a central reference of Judaism. Of the covenants found in the Pentateuch are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books contained the laws and instruction given by the Lord to Moses which establishes Israel as a nation. All five of the books are believed to be written by MosesIntroduction

We do not live by the Law of Moses today, however, we very often live our lives as if we are in control. We labor for money, property and prestige sometimes by any means necessary and believe that we will gain favor in the eyes of God and our peers.

The relative significance of Ezra and Nehemiah to the Jerusalem community is that both of these books are associated with one another (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Both books draw from the post-Exilic period in Israel (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Ezra and Nehemiah are intertwined in that Ezra discusses the rebuilding of the Temple while Nehemiah discussed the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). An analysis of the two books present an Israelite religion focused on the Temple and the law (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). This is significant in that the context of Ezra is not complete without the context of Nehemiah.

In Psalms 55:22 it says “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will not let the righteous be shaken.” This verse means a lot to me because there have been many situations that have happened in my life. This bible verse tells me not to give up on him or on anything else in my life. Even in the darkest times to believe in him and his word. One thing that God has been there for me has been when I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I thought that my life was over. I was an energetic and active as a child. When I was told that I wouldn’t be able to exercise I was heartbroken. I realized that there was more than just having it. There is much more to it, you have to take medicine twice a day, stretch and go for a

I find myself in a daily struggle with God, fighting through my worldly mindset and constantly questioning and justifying certain aspects of my life. Personally, it drives me to seek wisdom in the scripture but I can see in large groups where the many predispositions might get in the way of a very personal growth opportunity. I know personally when it comes to group discussions I shy far away from being the center of discussion. I leave that business for those braver and more confident than I.
