While Verse Ninety-Four Underscores The All-Consuming Power

But by employing the word “pulsing (4),” the reader can really feel the lover’s heart beating on the speaker’s hand. This addresses the fact that love has a pulse and it can halt just as well as a heart can. Through visual and tactile imagery, Addonizio shows how close intimately the lovers are with one another.

“Hers was the calm ecstasy of achieved consumption, the peace, not of mere vacant safety and

There are many sections of the book Song of Songs ranging from, The Initial Pursuit and Satisfaction, to The Groaning of the Flesh and so on. Each of the sections cover certain verses from the Biblical text and include subsections on the interpretation of verses. The part of the book that touched me the most was in section two, on The Call for Deliverance from the Self, specifically, Failure and Recovery. This section speaks of how the beloved wants to dwell with her lover in his presence, living with the him and his benefits, but not wanting to change her ways to be closer to him. As Watchman Nee says, “in other words, she is seeking after pleasure in her feeling, and she is reluctant to

On the other hand, the non-lover befriends and associates himself with the beloved out of pure free will, without regard to any feeling of pleasure or passion. So that there is no passion present to die out and thereby the non-lover will never desert the lover.

When he finally earns his father’s love, he loses his servant/friend’s love through his selfish actions. Amir also learns that his servant/friend is actually his half-brother. Hosseini shows us the different types of love with their adversity

How does our Christian faith impact the area of differentiated instruction? First we must believe Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’. When we believe this we can accomplish anything. Every student has a different personality, interest, and learning styles. No one learn the same way. We as future educators have to meet the need of each student. ”Teacher have to believe that all students deserve a chance at success in our classrooms, regardless of student’s backgrounds, learning styles, and or disabilities” (Ackerman). We have to figure out what strategies are best for the student when it comes to learning. Proverbs 22:6 say” Train up a child in the way he should go, and when is old he will not depart from

After reading your response to the prompt I was impressed and concurred with them. It is understandable why the author/preacher drew from Psalm 95:1-7. His command of the Old Testament allowed him to make vivid God displeasure with His unfaithful and disobedient creation. In addition to the Old Testament scriptures you alluded to, I found Exodus 17 to be significant in the unwillingness of the children of Israel to trust God to the extent of questioning His omnipotence. Just like many Christians today, the children of Israel found themselves wandering aimlessly disobedient to the Master (God) and not seeking to take a stronghold to the mighty Hand of God. Moreover, it is evident that the preacher uses this example to warn and exhort the recipient

It would seem probable from this that the psalm was composed in a time of pestilence, or raging sickness, which threatened to sweep all the people away - a supposition by no means improbable, as such times occurred in the days of Moses, and in the rebellions of the people when he was leading them to the promised land. Psalm 90, is the only psalm attributed to Moses, and picks up the question of “How long?” (89:46; 90:13), and responds to the problem by taking the audience/reader back to a pre-monarchic context, emphasizing Yahweh ‘as Israel’s place of security’ and downplaying human-orientated assurance and confidence. This serves as a key signpost for the following collection of Psalms, notably lacking Davidic superscripts, and commonly identified as the Kingship psalms. Here, most of all is the explicit expression of Yahweh’s kingship in the Psalter, a motif and metaphor that has been consistent throughout, but is given particular shape and elevation by the structural dynamic of the arrangement. In these psalms the kingship of Yahweh is extended from merely Israel to much more than Israel – all of creation and all the nations. Such a move is grounded in the pre-Davidic context generated by Ps 90, as well as the appeal to creation for the basis of Yahweh’s kingship. This emphasis on creation as the original context for Yahweh’s imperial rule means that Israel’s own experience of God’s historical acts

Origen was one of the most pivotal and important teacher and interpreter of the Catholic faith of all time. His interpretations of Genesis I and many other homilies are still looked to today for guidance, even though he lived in the third century. Origen has had a difficult history with the church, from being excommunicated and pronounced a heretic, though today the church an scholars recognize him as a very important mind in church history.

A prominent theme in the first surah of the Qur’an is the theme of mercy, which is mentioned four times. He is introduced both as the “Lord of Mercy” and the “Giver of Mercy”. These two titles assign two similar, yet still different, traits to God. First, that as the “Lord” of Mercy, he is the sole one who has the power of mercy. Second, as the “Giver” of mercy, he is attributed with a sense of benevolence of his power. The contrast between the dual themes of God’s power as a “Lord” and his benevolence as a “giver” then puts further emphasis on the overall theme of Mercy. These themes can then be seen throughout the second surah through the tellings of the stories originating from the Old and New Testament and through the clarification of
