Obedience, being an important tool for brothers truly serve God, is a way for abbots to dictate their rule over brothers. The brothers must “put aside their own concerns, abandon their own will, and lay down whatever they have in hand, leaving it unfinished. With the ready step of obedience, they follow the voice of authority in their actions” ( Chapter 5 pg: 29-30). If a brother is to not follow the voice of authority, the result will be punishment by higher authority. In fear of being punished and disobeying God, brothers must listen to abbots no matter how absurd the speech is. If a brother were to disagree or object to a certain rule, the brother would be quieted immediately. According to the Prophet, “there are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem of silence… Speaking and teaching are the master’s task; the disciple is to be silent and listen” (Chapter 6 pg: 31). The brother, or disciple, is not encouraged to speak up or intervene in situations where it may be needed. For the higher authority, it is beneficial for the brothers to be silent and listen so that there are not any disciples to interrupt and question the authority of higher officials. Like obedience, restraint of speech allows high authority to maintain its control of disciples and prevent the chances of anyone from having their own

Controversy at the 1968 Olympics! At the 1968 Olympic games a track runner by the

This curtain thrown over the atrocities of fascist Germany—such as arresting and interning “some 800 Roma residing in Berlin under police guard in a special camp” less than two weeks before the games began—astoundingly worked, despite Jewish organizations pressuring European Jewish competitors to boycott the games, many of them chose to attend because they did not understand the severity of Nazi persecution of minority and “inferior” groups (“The Nazi Olympics Berlin 1936.” n.d.). Ironically, Hitler’s intent of exploiting the Games in an effort to prove Aryan racial superiority backfired when African-American track star Jesse Owens won the most medals: four golds in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m, and long jump (“1936 Olympics - Berlin Summer Olympic Games.” n.d.). Football was becoming increasingly popular during the interwar period and was noted as a “paradigm of both the richness and poverty of working-class life” due to the way it fit into the public’s daily life so easily (Gourvish,

Many athletes in the games won so many medals and had good memories from it but still had discrimination to face in the world (“Sports)”. The African Americans were the most successful in the Olympics. “They won a total of fourteen gold, silver, and bronze medals in individual and team events” (Bachrach). All the medals that they have won in the olympics didn’t make a huge impact for them until later on in the late 1900’s which they were starting to get recognized for everything they have accomplished. With all the medals and positive accomplishments achieved in the Olympics, there were still people who did not compete. Some athletes chose to not participate in the Berlin Olympics and made history (Afterword). Mostly Jews chose not to compete and joined the boycott to protest about the persecution of Jews and opponents of Nazi rule. The athletes who chose not to compete were apart of history for their part in the boycott or either just not wanting to participate in the 1936 Berlin Olympics in

He presents himself as a human being of unparalleled piety and devotion who will risk life itself rather than abandon the duty that has been given to him.

When Jesus calls us to keep his commandments, he challenges us operate with love and reverence for the Almighty. In order to obey the commands of Jesus, we must comprehend the distinction between a mere command and a commandment.

　　　　Therefore, many should look to John 4:23, 24 in which Jesus’ words were recorded saying, “"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” This passage tells us that there is a right way, a way granted by God’s authority in which worship must be conducted. That said, if there is a right way to do something, then surely God has given some form of instruction.

We must build our lives according to the codes of scriptures. This is called obedience. It is in studying the words of Christ and applying them as a guide to our lives that we begin to understand who God is, and who we are as his children. Where else can we learn about his love, mercy and grace? Where else is His nature so clearly demonstrated than in His words? Where else can we learn about ourselves, about how sinful and dependent we are of God’s love and grace?

In a biblical worldview, God wants individuals to be guided by truth and defend those who are incident. John 18:23 says, “Jesus answered him, If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me” (English Standard Version). Overall, this would mean to reveal the truth and avoid the lies.

The Olympics in London in 2012 are distinguished by its strangeness and surprise audiences scenario in order to be remembered. The organisations of the games used three very important factors which impacted not only the cultural event but also people

First, we must consider the fact that the Bible commands us to rightly divide the word of truth. Paul in writing to Timothy wrote, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15). These are instructions for us to study the word correctly with the idea that we would come to understand and obey, using the means given to us by the Lord.

Christ had to immerse Himself with peace (solitude) and quiet (silence). There was no room for any distractions hence, Jesus' duty was to execute God's commands and to engage in the practice and actions that appeased His Father. In the story of the Ten Commandments, I recognize just how essential the concept of being obedient to God, the Almighty is.  In the New Testament, (NT) I learned that through the example of Christ, the Lord we the adherents, supports or believers are called upon to a life of mere obedience.  As God's children, we must obey our Heavenly Father. God's word is transparent, crisp and pivotal. Our Father's word, warrants the elements of
