Authentic Spiritual Surrender Responsible Human Freedom Love
1,471 wordsI think Dr. Gerald may have done a marvelous job as to the writing and format of his book Addiction and Grace. As a psychiatrist and teacher with years of experience, I totally agree with his statement that all human beings have an inborn desire of God, whether one is consciously religious or not. Some people repress this desire by intentionally or inadvertently hiding it among the many other interest of life. I have noticed frequently in my line of work as working closely with people in the hea...

Santa Claus Emotional Appeal
1,827 wordsEvery society has mythology. In some societies, it's religion. Our religion is consumerism. Ellen Weis, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Mythology Consumerism fuels the capitalist fire. In a capitalist society, the goal is to make money, by whatever means possible, exploiting whichever potential weakness that might exist.

Piece Of Art One Aspect
794 wordsIs All Art Appropriate? Should a Christian refrain from viewing, listening, or reading a piece of art because it is vulgar or offensive... no. If I had to pull one aspect out of the Christian faith that is the biggest thorn in my side it would be this very notion, the notion that Christians should abstain from anything that is even remotely distasteful.

Lord Your God Stay Alive
858 wordsDeuteronomy 8: 7 - 18 Scope, Selection and Content of Pericope Deuteronomy 8, an independent exhortation within the second speech of Moses (4: 44? 28: 68), has the motif of remembrance / forgetting (verses 2, 11, 14, 18, 19) as a call to obedience (verses 1, 2, 6, 11, 19). Beginning the pericope with 8: 7 is unsatisfactory because it presupposes the preceding context (? For? ? ). At least 8: 1 should be retained to clarify the antecedent. The proper ending for the pericope is 8: 20, completing t...

Image Of God Eastern Orthodox
1,608 wordsAlthough Christian art is now seen as a major part of the Christian religion, during the first three centuries of the church there was no Christian art and the church generally resisted it. Clement of Alexandria criticized religious art by calling it pagan. In his view, it encouraged people to worship that which had been created rather than the Creator (3, 79). But by mid- 3 rd century pictorial art began to be used and accepted in the Christian church but not without fervent opposition in some ...
