Mount Sinai

sacred text of the Bible, which explicitly provides a set guideline for Christians to have a deeper understanding of how to live life like their model ‘Jesus Christ’. The Beatitudes, which are eight blessings found in the context of the Sermon on the Mount. These blessings are the primary sources of ethical guidance for adherents within the New Testament. It provides a model for Christian life by describing a life of advocacy for the poor and marginalised and hence stressing the values of kindness, mercy

is necessary to include Jesus Christ and give your life to following Christ. Simple obedience to God is necessary. There is a need to suffer as Christ suffered if we pick up the cross to follow Jesus. The book also focuses on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Jesus discusses those that are blessed and why they are blessed and also the kingdom of heaven. Jesus discusses faith-community and what is required of disciples including reconciliation with others. The book discusses Jesus and his righteousness

The sky turned dark as a huge, black cloud rose into the air. Stones, hot ash, and poisonous gases fell down onto the city of Pompeii as the seemingly quiet Mt. Vesuvius erupted in the year 79 A.D. Soon the entire city and all of it’s people were buried under 20 feet of ash. Even though this ancient city lived over 2,000 years ago, their daily life has similarities to ours today. Daily life in Pompeii is similar to us in various ways. One of those ways is their regular daily objects. “Tiny boxes

1. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.” (James 1:5-6, ESV) James calls upon the people of God to pray for wisdom. But not to just pray for wisdom, but to do so in faith. James calls the unfaithful man “double-minded” as he is still has not fully trusted in Christ. James also condemns the

"I wish I was an ass, so that I could piss standing up!" gasped my chemistry teacher in his loud Spanish accent. Striking us with hilarious surprise, these risibly condign words seemed to capture the moment perfectly. For dire struggling, I have found, tends to bring out in everyone a sense of profundity (and profanity), flippant or refined nonetheless. This dire struggle that had driven away Dr. Tussell's manners was our climbing out of the Grand Canyon. We, a band of thirteen students and two

Can you save other people’s lives when you are in danger or close to death? I would say “No” most of the time because my life is the most important thing in the universe at least for me. This is a quite difficult and controversial question, but I assume that the majority of people would say no as well. I don’t understand why the climbers take risks that they can die. In the book, Into Thin Air, Weathers was left out near the top of the Mt. Everest because he was unconscious when Sherpas

he believed that writing the book to share the indelible moments and obstacles he had encountered might cleanse his mind from the trauma he suffered during the ordeal. Into Thin Air describes Jon Krakauer’s experience in detail about his ascent up Mount Everest, a climb that transpired during late April through mid-May of the year 1996. Whilst focusing on his perspective of the climb by describing his perseverance through the fear, exhaustion, and lack of oxygen, he also provides a

Do you really know how dangerous climbing Mt. Everest is? Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world and only professional climbers can climb it. Only a few people know about the real dangers of Mt. Everest, from the slippery slopes, slick ice, thin air, and deep crevices. Climbers do not have much stamina to climb the mountain, so they need to train for years and years just to climb one mountain. Climbers from 13 to 73 years old have climbed the mountain, but not all have come down. People

houses with sophisticated cottages lined the cemented streets. The day before the eruption, the festival of the roman god of fire, also known as “Calcanalia” took place. There was estimated about 20,000 people in Pompeii and the surrounding area when Mount Vesuvius had erupted. Now all that remains is the hollow shells made of ashes from the fateful eruption. The city may seem like a former shell now empty from its former glory, but the city one was filled with people. The city had many destinations

I’m soaring in the sky with the view of pure white mountains below with trees and small bodies of water surrounding the large rocks, I have my landing destination spotted in the distances, a spruce tree, but it will take me over an hour to arrive. I calculated the time it would take me to arrive at my shelter, but the wind is pushing me more and more southwest, making it extremely difficult to know how much time I will have before sundown once I land.
