That's why I preach my way through entire books of the Bible, dealing carefully with each verse and phrase--even though that occasionally means spending time in passages that don't readily lend themselves to anecdotal or motivational messages. I am grateful to the Lord for the way He has used this exposi- tory approach in our church and in the lives of our radio listeners. But now and then someone tells me frankly that my preaching needs to be less doctrinal and more practical. Practical application is vital. I don't want to minimize its importance.
There are many of Gods just like him that try to do the same as what God is doing, their gift to us and to our church is that through out our generation many young adults do not pay attention to what there is to say during Mass, our during our classes of faith, which brings The Holy Spirit in it, with all the love that it provides the only duty it is trying to accomplish is to be a part of the human child soul and be in it presence to lead us to good and remove us away from its danger out in the world.

Focus The main focus for Dr. Cross is to educate the clients through Christian learning and faith. He uses projects that the client needs complete by each visit. Most projects involve using the bible. When the client completes the project and understands the meaning of the lesson it begins a learning process that the client can continue to use on his or her own after treatment. The focus is on the individual and teaching the client how to cope with his or her problem through the bible.
In the book of James (5:16), it says “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” He is saying that we must not just confess our sins privately to God, but also to a priest. In the passage just before this one, James is
We need to read and get an understanding of what others went through in their lives because most of us are experiencing those same things they were experiencing right now and today. I love the way this book depicts the lives of those in the Bible and how they interacted with others like their enemies and their families as well as how they handled different life changing experiences. I love the way their relationships were with God and how they prayed, rose
INTRODUCTION Public and common prayer by the people of God is rightly considered to be among the primary duties of the Church. This is true because the scriptures attest to it that the early Christians "devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the community, to the breaking of the bread, and to prayer"(Acts 2:42), and that “many times the Christian community prayed with one accord.” From this Testimony of the early Christians we discover that individual Christians devoted themselves to prayer at fixed times or hours then as time went by, in different places, it soon became the established practice to assign special times for common prayer. This tradition has been handed on to the contemporary community of faith- the church. Therefore in order to solemnly carry out this gracious mandate to pray in and out of season she developed and formulated prayers to sanctify the hours of the day which is called the breviary or the Liturgy of the hours. WHAT IS THE LITURGY OF HOURS?
The Holy Spirit is important in causing the change and the Word of God is the source of helping the client to become Christ -like. According to Adams (1986), this change must be toward God and must be “from the heart outward” (p. 7). If not, then the change is just superficial and it will eventually lead the client further astray. The very backbone of his counseling is 2 Timothy 3:16, which states: ," But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work"(NIV, 2010).
Not necessarily from another state, but it can be a different type of slang that you would usually use. A discourse community can be as simple as the group of friends you hang out with, because of the slang or language you guys use when you are together. Joining my church choir and talking to everyone there was completely different than speaking with my parents, my friends, and talking to people at my job. While we rehearsed, it was all about talking about our musical notes, when we were going to have high notes, high pitches, low notes, etc. Our language was based on music and religion.
We also believe in Him and call Him Chukwu. He made all the world and the other gods." (Achebe, 179). Even when trying to understand the Christian faith their religious beliefs are so ingrained that they create commonalities that are not really there. Akunna continues to talk about how the many gods they worship are helpers of Chukwu because he cannot do everything alone.
Some people have to have faith to believe in God. Since we cannot see Him or touch Him, we have to have faith. As we grow older we began to question why do we believe in God. We start to think about all the wars, murders, and senseless acts that are committed and wonder if there is a God. Smith2 Then we see people praying to their God for many different reasons.
