Preaching was not a monologue but a dialogue: Paul’s preaching’s were more of a dialogue with his audience. Paul’s audience consisted of Jews and Gentiles. Paul believed in his heart that if he wanted positive results, two important things were crucial to happen among his audiences. Firstly, the recognition in the minds of his audience the fact that Christ is the only savior. Secondly, the transformation of their hearts to accept Christianity fully.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Paul was speaking about how as Christians, we should not strive to follow the mold of society, but rather follow the will of the Lord. At times, this can be difficult for a Christian business owner, yet the rewards for the Lord will outweigh the financial gains from following society. Kotler and Keller explain that one area of marketing that Romans 12:2 applies to is that of social responsibility marketing. “Because the effects of marketing extend beyond the company and the customer to society as a whole, marketers must consider the ethical, environmental, legal, and social context of their roles and activities” (Kotler and Keller, 2012, p. 22).

Be at peace among yourselves.”) what God is trying to teach us about respect towards others. We cannot just sit there and disrespect others due to their imperfections, for every single one of us has imperfections but yet have great respected qualities that differ from one person to another. In the healthcare management field one must be able to respect opinions of those above you as well as the opinions of those below you. Interactions with other administrators, chief executive directors, and co-workers must be done without vain glorying oneself. The bible teaches us this in Philippians 2:3 (“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves”).
Every follower of Jesus Christ must find his or her identity in him and him alone. Students do not see that at first, this comes through spiritual maturity. “A young person’s identity does not depend on pure phycology, human goals and achievements, or social labels. Each young person’s identity, and ours as well , comes because we are held in high esteem by a sovereign God who has informed us of sin and forgiveness” (pg. 194).

Bill Fay said that there are two basic principles that will work in sharing the scriptures. The first one is by faith, which comes from “Faith comes from hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17), then the second principle would be how do you understand what you have just read (Luke 10:26). The scriptures of the bible are the profound authority of God, Bill Fay would have the non-believer to read the scriptures and ask if they understand what they have read so if they say no then he will ask them in

In 2000 Adrian Rogers the president of the Southern Baptist Convention made theological and sociological revisions to the 1963 confession. Despite the similarities and the revisions between the two confessions there are major concerns on topics about the doctrine of God. Many pastor-theologians endeavor on what to improve to the confession which has and will continue to impact the Baptist’s history past, present, and future. The 1963 BF&M confessions being revised are the faith and message that was set forth positive teaching the American Baptist believes.
He then writes that, today, many people look at the early Christians' movement as just. After giving these examples, King asserts the fact that he is a "minister of the gospel" and knows much about the history of Christianity.

Thus, it makes him credible when he uses religious examples pertaining to his cause. In the paragraph below, King
The pursuit of empowerment is a god given right to commit actions that allow person (s) to improve quality of life. [The right to pursue any lawful business or vocation, in any manner not inconsistent with the equal rights of others, which may increase their prosperity or develop their faculties, so as to give them their highest enjoyment] The Christian community can no longer sermonize parishioner’s on the mythical beliefs of “no worries” “streets of gold”, and “mansions” in heaven if it is not going to assist in attaining some peace and prosperity while here on earth. Religious leaders must provide ministries that empower people to empower communities. Every day the media paints a demoralizing poverty stricken picture of the
