Now looking back at age four and forty, I know that every person has an amazing story filled with tears – filled with joy – filled with anger – filled with boredom and filled with passion. But the best is now and the story in the making. Prophecy and bless your future. Some stories are better because the storyteller has completed the art of storytelling and tell it with genuine emotion from the heart, other stories are just so horrifying and the fact that a person survived through it all is a miracle

long tradition of interpretation of the writings of Saint Ignatius Loyola. Considering the Spiritual Exercises as the starting point for his model, Brackley seeks to recover the place of direct, supernatural, divine influence, particularly by the Holy Spirit, on the discernment of the believer. The spiritual challenges faced by followers of the Exercises have evolved in recent times, as has the Church’s recognition of existing challenges. In the spirit of The Second Vatican Council, he expands

eschatology. Using the Old Testament language of Joel 2, Pentecostals referred to the Spirit baptism event as the ‘latter rain’. This ‘latter rain’ was a sign of the lasts days and the immanent return of Christ. How did they know that the ‘latter rain’ was falling over them? This is where tongues manifestation is crucial. Pentecostals believe that they had received xenolalia, human language unknown to them. Thus, many believed that they were experiencing what the disciples had experience in Acts

to counseling, but I totally agree with Dr. Hawkins model approach. In my opinion, portions of Dr. Crabb’s approach makes Biblical counseling at the basis of counseling. His thought process that psychology and theology goes hand in hand, gives the Holy Spirit to work in finding a recovery plan. My pastor always says, “The worse place to be is to be disconnected for the Power Source (God).” One of the strengths of Biblical counseling, such Dr. Crabb’s and Dr. Hawkins’ approach models is, that biblical

Reeves book Delighting in the trinity was when he said, “the trinity is seen not as a solution and a delight, but as an oddity and a problem.”(8) Too many times people discuss the problems of the trinity, for instance the fact that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one but the same. I think too often people over think the trinity and cause this spur, the trinity should cause us to delight in Christ and we should consider the trinity a solution. Reeves is correct when pointing out Paul’s writing about

movement that transformed immensely the history of Christianity. It emphasized a personal interaction with God facilitated by baptism of the individual by Holy Spirit (Alexander, 43). One of the proponents of Pentecostalism is William Seymour. He is regarded as the initiator of Pentecostal movement because of his fundamental teachings on the role of Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life (Heaton 35). Therefore, this research paper aims to describe the contributions of William Seymour to evolution of Pentecostalism

Discipline or Violence “Train-up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (ESV-Bible, 2001) Without doubt, many who are parents today they never had the proper instruction on how to discipline their children, and this is because they were disciplined the wrong way, since much of the discipline that they received was applied many times by neglect and even the physical abuse, and giving this as a result that they want to apply what they received

Introduction The Pro’s and Con’s of a student preacher can be very nerve wrecking because of the responsibility of following through with every “I dotted and every “T” crossed. When writing, preaching and teaching the Word of God it can become very intimidating to anyone who desires to follow in a league of skillful preachers, pastors and teachers. How can you be original when it appears all of the apparent techniques have been discovered? Speaking of technique, how should a student preacher apply

that there was not enough emphasis on faith and the Holy Spirit. I definitely agree that our worldview influences our perspectives but I also feel that the Holy Spirit is changing those perspectives as well. Because we are humans we have a sinful nature and because of this nature we can only help someone to a certain point. The Holy Spirit is there guiding us and giving us the discernment that we need in difficult situations. I feel that the Holy Spirit should be a key player in any counseling situation

Christianity. This word brings a lot of mixed thoughts in one’s head especially for those people who do not understand the concept of this religion, such as the people of Rome in early times. “ … And by a distinction between the seasons which is due to God’s arrangement, set aside some for festivals, others for times of sorrow- merely to suit their own inclinations! Who can consider this a proof of religion, and not, rather, of lack of understanding?” (The Epistle to Diognetus) Christianity was seen
