LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE USE OF RELIGION IN EARLY CHAPLAINCY A PAPER SUBMITTED TO DR. JIM FISHER IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE CHPL 500 LIBERTY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA MONDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2010 The use of religion in early history of the chaplaincy by and large seems to have been formulated mostly to rouse the troops to battle with a sense of well-being knowing that their God was on their side, and that the undertaking they were about to engage in was a righteous one. In the ancient biblical days, we see Moses as the commander/chaplain of sorts for the Hebrew forces in a battle against the Amalekites. Moses’ lifted hands acted as a morale boost

The Character of Michael Hosea in Francine Rivers Redeeming Love Francine Rivers retells a story of God’s unfailing love as she writes a biblical love story. Michael Hosea the main male character in “Redeeming Love” is a representation of God’s real love for us. Michael Hosea seems to be a quite man and anything but soft.

“So go and prepare to receive your harvest”. Coach Grant was convinced and was determined to also inspire his football team with God’s word. He also mentored to the football team that there’s nothing they can not accomplish with having a little faith ;a bit of mustard seed is all you need for God to prevail his grace and mercy, This includes the miracle of a winning season when all hope seemed lost.

in his famous speech from the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Baldwin writes, “The very time I thought I was lost, My dungeon shook and my chains fell off (Baldwin, 10). In their entirety, these lyrics continue: “This is religion, I do know, For I never felt such a love before” (Schomburg). Baldwin's allusion to this spiritual implies an understanding that the patterns of Nature, or the laws of God, will always keep human law in check. As Abrahamic tradition tells of a God that resolves Earthly imbalances in favor of the righteous, Universal law resolves natural imbalances by equalizing them. Through this light, Baldwin is insisting that the seemingly fixed position of the black man in the white man's world is actually just a heavily guarded illusion, and that the mental bondage it carries with it will break at that very moment when an individual realizes that his or her potential supercedes the
He sticks to the Bible and does not care what others think about him or his beliefs. Billy Graham is a fabulous role model and I have a desire to have a faith as strong as his. He has proved throughout the years that he stays true to his faith and he has taught thousands of people the word of God. He believes the Bible to be 100% accurate. We both believe the Bible comes from God and that he created the universe and everything in it.
The First Crusade began in 1095 after the speech of Pope Urban at the Council of Clermont. There were many reasons as to why people joined the First Crusade, including religious, economic and social factors. I believe that the most important reason is the religious factor. This is because since religion was so important and present at this time, people were constantly reminded of the fact that it was their right as Christians to kill the infidel and claim their ‘rightful’ holy place in Jerusalem. Pope Urban, in 1095, gave a speech which called people to crusade.
Winston Churchill once said, “Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable events.” With the attacks on our nation on September 11, the effects have been felt all over the world. We are at war with Afghanistan and have been for almost 11 years. So why are we over there, what have we done, and when will our troops come home? On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger airliners, two of which were intentionally flown into the
Courageous Malcolm X “I am not educated, nor am I an expert in any particular field… but I am sincere, and my sincerity is my credential.” Malcolm X, an African American man, was born on May 19, 1925 at the University Hospital, Omaha, Nebraska.

Joshua, Church, and Dwight: Pioneers of Their Ages Miguel Womack Business 520-D15 October 28-Sunday, 2012 Brooke Quigg Joshua, Church, and Dwight: Pioneers of Their Ages One can never exclude the story of Joshua when compiling the extensive list of loyal, unwavering children of God in the Bible. We can assume common knowledge of the allegory by all even if only recollected from a gospel hymn: A General, chosen of his people, who themselves have little military discipline, to lead the Israelites into battle as God’s will is done to reach a land of prosperity promised to them. Fast forward to the 1840’s where a small company named Church and Dwight packed bicarbonate soda by hand into paper bags in one pound portions to be used
